A man was left “badly injured” after he was seriously assaulted in Station Road, March during an attack that “could have had far more serious consequences.”

The victim, who is in his 50s, was walking on the road at around 7pm on Wednesday, January 25, when he was approached by two men.

One of the men punched the victim to his head, causing serious injuries.

Detective Constable Simon Rust said: “This attack could have had far more serious consequences for the victim who was badly injured in the attack.

“Incidents like this involving blows to the head can prove fatal so we are particularly keen to catch these offenders.”

The victim required hospital treatment for his injuries.

Both offenders are described as white, one is described as between 16 to 20 years old and was wearing a grey hooded top and grey jogging bottoms and the other is described as 6’ to 6’3” and was wearing a black coat.
