A DRIFFIELD man required medical treatment at Scarborough Hospital after being assaulted in an apparently unprovoked attack in Kings Mill Road, Driffield.
Police say that the incident happened some time between 1am and 5am on Saturday 8 June.
A spokeswoman for Humberside Police said: “The 22-year-old had just visited the Mario’s Pizza shop in Crosshill with a friend when a group of about eight men he did not know approached and began to chase the pair along Kings Mill Road.
“The group caught up with the 22-year-old and assaulted him, leaving him with a fractured wrist and cuts and bruises to the face and body.”
The spokeswoman added: “He attended Scarborough Hospital for treatment later that day.
“The victim was in drink at the time and has been unable to provide a description of the suspects and is unclear of the exact time of the assault.
He reported the incident to police on the morning of Monday 10 June.
Officers are investigating the offence and want to hear from anyone who witnessed anything.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Humberside Police on the non emergency number 101 referring to log 224 of 10 June 2013.
