Appeal for information following serious assault in Stockton Heath

Detectives investigating a serious assault in Stockton Heath are appealing for members of the public to come forward.

Between 11pm and 11.15pm on Sunday 11 July a fight took place in the middle of London Road outside the restaurant Stockyard.

The altercation involved a number of males and resulted in a 22-year-old man sustaining serious injuries to his face.

The victim was taken to Warrington Hospital and has since been released.

Enquiries have been ongoing to establish the circumstances surrounding the assault and officers are appealing for information to assist with their investigation.

Detective Constable Joe Davies, of Warrington CID, said: “The investigation is in its early stages and to assist with my enquiries I am appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

“There were a lot of people in the area that night watching the football match and may have seen the fight take place. Perhaps you were driving past at the time and have dash cam footage, you helped to break up the fight or you have information on who may have been involved.

“Please do come forward – no matter how small you think the information might be.”

Two 17-year-old boys were arrested on suspicion of section 18 assault and have since been released on conditional bail.

Anyone who has any information is asked to contact Cheshire Constabulary on 101 quoting IML 1035067.

Information can also be passed on anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or by visiting their website.
