Investigating officer DC Andy Eastwood said: “These three certainly helped to stop the incident escalating and may not have realised the severity of the injuries inflicted at the time because the victim himself didn’t until the following morning.

“The victim remembers little of the incident and so our investigation will be helped greatly by any witnesses contacting me to tell me what they saw and heard.”

The suspect is a white male, about 24 years old, 6ft tall and of medium build. He was wearing a burgundy t-shirt and blue denim jeans, and has tattoos all along on his left arm.

If you can identify the suspect or witnessed the assault, particularly if you were one of those who was in or around the takeaway, please contact DC Eastwood by calling 101. You can also call Crimestoppers on 0800-555111.
