A GROUP of youths who attacked a man in the town centre are being sought by police.

A man was assaulted by the group at the junction of North Street and Evreux Way at around 8.20pm on Friday March 15.

Police received a report that a group of youths were splashing passers by with rain water at a bus shelter near New Look on North Street.

When they splashed the victim – who remains unknown – a row broke out and they followed him to the junction of Evreux Way where they assaulted him.




PC Charlie Young said: “We’re keen to identify the people responsible for this attack. We’re also carrying out enquiries to identify the victim so we can check on his welfare and talk to him about the incident.

“There were quite a few people around at the time, and we believe the group splashed other people with rain water.


“We are appealing for anyone who was splashed or who witnessed the altercation at the bus shelter or further down the road to come forward.

“We also believe someone filmed the assault on their mobile phone. We’d like to speak to this person and view the footage.”

Call Warwickshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 404 of March 15, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
