Appeal: multiple assaults, Ingoldmells

We are appealing for witnesses and footage which may help or investigation in to a report that two men have assaulted a number of people in Ingoldmells on Easter Sunday (31 March).

Our Force Control Room receive a report that a man had been assaulted in Cheers pub in Wall’s Lane in the town at 8.10pm on Sunday.  

The assault is reported to have involved two men who threw a glass at the victim, and then left the venue heading in the direction of Roman Bank towards Butlins.

A further two people also reported being assaulted by the same individuals in the nearby streets.

Several people sustained serious injuries which have required hospital treatment.
