Appeal after man chased and assaulted

We are appealing for information after a man was chased and assaulted by three other men in the Great Wryley area last month.

The victim was walking through a local brook area near to John's Lane at 1pm on Thursday 10 April, when he was chased by the men onto Sunbeam Drive. 

A white BMW was then seen to be being driven erratically in the area while the foot chase continued onto Chestnut Drive and Quinton Avenue. 

The victim was then struck several times with sheathed knives before offenders made off in the vehicle. 

During the assault, the victim sustained bruising to his ribs and torso as well as superficial injuries to his arms. 

Officers have carried out inquiries locally and are releasing images pulled from CCTV footage of the area at the time of the chase. 

We are urging anyone who recognising the individuals pictured to get in touch with us. 

Anyone with any information should contact us on 101 quoting incident number 318 of 10 April. 

To report anonymously, contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
