Hi Meredith,
I've moved your topic to the Crime and Disturbance log.
One of our regulars who lives nearby told me that this happened at around 1pm on Sunday morning, 30 January, on Church Lane. I have been advised of the victim's name but I don't think it's appropriate to repeat it here. I was also told that he had gone to Hope Hospital with severe head injuries.
I hope he is on the mend now and the culprit(s) caught. If anyone knows anything about it please get in touch with the police.
