We are appealing for witnesses following a serious assault which has left a man in his 20s with a broken nose, cut to his face, and black eyes.
The incident happened at around 11.20pm on New Year’s Eve in South Street, Horncastle.
The victim had been with friends at Harpars Bar before leaving and heading in the direction of the Black Swan Inn when he reported being accosted by a group of men.
The suspects are believed to have then walked towards the Black Swann Inn.
Following extensive enquiries, we now believe a public appeal may help our investigation. We would like to hear from anyone who witnessed the assault itself or saw either the victim or a groups of men in the minutes prior to or after the incident. We would also be keen to see any dashcam, mobile phone, or CCTV footage which could help our investigation.
