Witness appeal after men left with head injuries following Wolstanton attack

Two men are recovering from head injuries after they were reportedly attacked by a large group of youths in Wolstanton in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The pair had been walking down High Street, near The Marsh, at around 2:30am when they were approached by a group of unknown males.

They were then hit over the head and robbed – neither received injuries that are believed to be life threatening.

Officers attended the scene and are carrying out local enquiries.

Detective Constable David Stubbs, of CID North, said: “We are appealing for witnesses and asking anyone with any information around this attack to get in touch.
