Appeal following assault in Melton
Police are appealing for witnesses following the report of an assault in Melton.
The incident happened at around 4am on Sunday July 26, when the 25-year-old victim and his friend were approached by a man as they sat at the Corn Cross in High Street.
The man asked the victim and his friend if they had a spare cigarette. When the victim told him no he kicked him.
When the victims friend tried to intervene she was threatened by the man, with what is believed to be a knife, though this was not seen by the victim.
The man left the scene and walked off in the direction of the Market Place where he was met by another man.
The victim received injuries to his face and neck as a result of the assault and attended Grantham General Hospital for treatment.
The man is described as white, about 18 to 25-years-old, around 6ft tall and of a slim build. He had mousey brown hair and was wearing a long sleeved white shirt, blue denim jeans and black shoes. He spoke with an Eastern European accent.
The man who met with the suspect after the incident is described as white and was shorter than the suspect.
PC Richard Spivey, the officer investigating the incident said: The victim was left very shocked after the assault and we want the publics help in locating the man responsible.
We are appealing to those people who were in the Corn Cross area of Melton on Sunday morning, perhaps you were on your way home from a night out on Saturday? Did you walk past the Corn Cross? Can you remember seeing a man and woman sat there? Did you see the assault? Did you see the two men walking away from the market place?
