Police investigating a serious assault near Walton Gardens are appealing for information, video footage and witnesses.
On Saturday 13 September, officers in Warrington were notified about a serious assault on Old Chester Road.
The caller reported that at around 11pm on Friday 12 September, he and a friend had left Walton Gardens and had been heading along Old Chester Road in the direction of New Chester Road towards Warrington to book a taxi home.
Whilst on the walk, the man and his friend were involved in a verbal altercation with two unknown men. Nothing came from this altercation and the victim and his friend continued towards their destination.
After his friend had left, the victim sat on a wall on Old Chester Road. A short time later, the same two men approached the victim, and it is believed there has been an altercation whereby the victim has lost consciousness.
He has reported that the next thing he remembered was being awoken by a local taxi driver who had found him on the floor covered in blood and then took him to a nearby hospital.
The victim sustained serious injuries to his head and face, but they are not thought to be life-threatening or life-changing.
Detective Constable Caitlin Bebbington, of Warrington CID, said: “A number of enquiries are currently underway to fully understand what occurred here and, as part of our investigation, we are looking to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident and can help us piece together how the victim sustained these serious injuries.

“Anyone with any information is asked to contact Cheshire Police via the website or on 101, quoting incident reference 25000759186.”
