Morecambe Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward after a man was assaulted as he walked home from a night out last month.
The offence took place around 2.15am on Sunday 29th January when the 38-yearold victim from St Helens was walking along Central Drive.
He was approached by two men very close to the bottom of Billy Hill when he has been assaulted and knocked to the floor.
He suffered facial injuries including a black eye and swelling to his cheek and was treated at Royal Lancaster Infirmary.
PC Ben Hanley said: “This victim was subjected to a completely unprovoked assault which took place near to a residential area, so I would urge anybody that has seen or heard something in the early hours of Sunday 29th January to come forward.”
Anyone with any information should call Lancashire Police on 101.
