POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a man was attacked by three men in Trowbridge last Sunday (Jun 28) while walking along Haden Road between 10pm-11pm.

The victim was walking along road and was nearing the footbridge when he was approached by three men, aged between 18 and 20 years old, who asked him for a cigarette.

When he replied that he did not have one they started to attack him. He managed to run off but was left with bruising to his left eye and forehead. 

Unfortunately the man cannot identify any of his attackers.

A Wiltshire Police spokesman said: "If you were in this area, around this time, and saw or heard anything suspicious please come forward. 

“You can contact us via 101 and ask for PCSO Laura Humphreys or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 and leave any information anonymously.”
