A man suffered serious injuries after being punched in the head during an assault. Lincolnshire Police were called to a “large-scale disturbance” in the Sheep Market area of Stamford, near Peterborough, at around 9.50pm on Saturday, July 25.

Police are trying to piece together the events that led to the assault. A police spokesperson said: “We are now appealing for the public’s help to identify the two men, as we believe they may have vital information that could assist our investigation.

“The first man is described as being of stocky build, with dark hair and stubble. He was wearing grey knee-length shorts and a tight white t-shirt, with a grey man-bag with black strap. The lower halves of his left arm and left leg are heavily tattooed and he was wearing black trainers with a white marking on them.

“The second man is described as being of slim build, with ‘slicked back’ neck-length mid-brown hair. He had a moustache and goatee beard of a similar colour. He was wearing a white t-shirt and light beige cargo-type shorts.”

Anyone with information should contact Detective Sergeant Mike Hanson or call 101 and quote incident 559 of July 25.
