Nottinghamshire Police appeal for witnesses to Newark glass attack

Police would like to speak to two people (pictured) after a man had a glass smashed in his face in Newark.

A 30-year-old suffered with a fractured nose and cuts to his face after being glassed as he walked through Market Square on December 28 last year.

The man was reportedly attacked outside NatWest bank at around 10:50pm.

CCTV images showed two men with pint glasses in their hands leaving The White Hart pub, near the Market Place, at the same time as the victim, minutes before the incident took place.

Police would like to speak to both men, as they may have information that could assist with the investigation.

PC Lydia Garnham-Davies, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was a completely unacceptable attack that left a man with a fractured nose and could have quite easily left him having to live with life-changing injuries as well.

“We have been trawling through all of the CCTV footage available from the night as part of our investigations, to help establish what happened that night.

“After inspecting the footage in detail, we have identified two people who were in the area at the time this incident happened and may be able to assist us with our enquiries.

“If you recognise the two men from the CCTV image or have any more information that could help us with our enquiries, please contact us on 101 quoting incident 725 on December 28 2021.”
