A 38-year-old man from Warwick was arrested on suspicion of assault after a man was knocked unconscious during an incident in Leamington Spa.

Police were called to Warwick Street - near the junction with Tavistock Street – between 3.10am and 3.30am on Sunday morning (July 10).

A man in his 40s was knocked unconscious in the incident and taken to hospital - his injuries are not thought to be serious.

Warwickshire Police is now appealing for anybody with information to come forward.

PC Gouled Dubad from Leamington Police Station said: "This was a vicious assault with witnesses reporting the suspect continued to assault the victim as he lay defenceless on the floor.

"It is fortunate the victim wasn't more seriously injured.

"An arrest was made quickly after the incident and suspect has since been bailed while our investigation continues.

"We are conducting a number of enquiries into this incident.

"While the attack did take place in the early hours we believe there were still a number of people in the area who may have witnessed the incident or have dash cam footage.

"We would like to hear from these people if they haven't already spoken to police."

Information can be provided by calling 101 quoting incident 50 of 10 July 2022.

It can also be given anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
