Detectives in Chester are appealing to the public for information after a man was seriously assaulted on Frodsham Street.

The incident happened around 3am on Monday 28 August when a 41-year-old from the Chester area was walking along Frodsham Street towards to new bus station.

As he walked along the street he passed a group of three men, police say he ignored the group and continued to walk towards the bus station.

However, one of the men followed the victim and seriously assaulted him near to the mini-roundabout outside Iceland.

The victim sustained serious injuries and was left unconscious as a result of the attack.

He was taken to the Countess of Chester Hospital for treatment; he has since been discharged and is now recovering at home.

Police say the attacker is described as a white, around 25-years-old, of proportionate build, unshaven with black wavy hair pushed backwards.

He was wearing black jeans, a black shirt and a Glen Plaid fabric design men’s jacket. He was also wearing shoes with no socks.

Investigations are ongoing and officers from Chester CID are following a number of lines of enquiry, including CCTV analysis and forensics.

As part of the investigation, police say they are keen to speak to anyone who may have any information in relation to the incident.

Detective Constable Justin Jones said:

“This is a serious unprovoked attack on the victim who was walking away from the suspect at the time of the assault. As a result of the incident the victim has sustained a number of serious injuries, including a broken wrist and a head injury.

“As part of this investigation I would like to hear from anyone who believes that they may have seen the suspect during the evening of Sunday 27 August 2017 or anyone who believes that they know who he is; indications suggest that the suspect has links to the Rhosllannerchrugog area of Wrexham.

“I’m also keen to hear from a young man wearing a black tracksuit who was present on Frodsham Street at the time of the offence.

“I would also appeal directly to the suspect himself and ask him search his conscience and hand himself in.
There are several enquiries ongoing and I am confident that it is only a matter of time before he is located and arrested.”

Anyone with any information in relation to the incident is asked to contact Cheshire Police on 101 quoting incident number 150 of 28/8/2017. Information can also be passed anonymously, via Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111.
