Did You See Biggleswade Assault?

Police are looking for information about an assault in which a 42 year old man was left with stitches in his head.

The incident happened in at about 2.50am on Sunday December 15 outside the Pizza Town takeaway in High Street, Biggleswade.

The offender, a white man aged in his mid-thirties standing about 6ft 2ins tall, had struck up a conversation with the 42 year old victim outside the shop but then, in an apparently unprovoked attack, hit him in the face. The victim fell to the floor unconscious, cutting the back of his head and causing a large lump on his face.

Emergency services were called immediately and the man was taken to Lister Hospital for treatment.

Det Con Mike Armstrong now wants to hear from anyone who was around at the time.

“Despite the late hour, there were quite a few people around the Pizza Town shop and elsewhere nearby in the street. We know that several of them saw some or all of what happened but as yet have not come forward to the police.

“Officers called at the time did arrest a man* and perhaps people think that we do not need their information but we are very keen to hear from anyone who was there, so that they can help us put together exactly what happened.

“The injured man was knocked unconscious for some time and is still feeling the effects now, so I’m sure once people realise we need their help to progress the investigation they will make contact.”

Det Con Armstrong can be contacted direct on 01234 275227, or at any time via the 24 hour police non-emergency number 101; or text the force control room at any time on 07786 200011.  

*The arrested man is currently on police bail pending further enquiries.
