Police are appealing for information and have
issued a CCTV image after a man was head-butted whilst inside the Duke of Lancaster pub last month.

 

The 52-year-old victim was inside the pub on Church Street at around 12.30am on 15th July when he
approached the bar to get a drink.  At this point, a brief altercation
has taken place after and he has been head-butted by another man.

 

PC Nikki Kay, who is
investigating the assault said, “This was a nasty, unnecessary assault
and I am keen to speak to anyone who was in the pub
that night and may have seen something.

 

“If anyone did
witness what happened or has any other information that they think might
assist with the investigation, then I would urge
them to get in touch.”
