Police are appealing for witnesses and information after a man suffered serious injuries during an assault in Accrington.
Officers were called at around 8.30am yesterday (6th November) to Wordsworth Road, Accrington, to a report of assault.
They found that a man in his 50s had been assaulted by six men who were travelling in a Land Rover and a BMW X5.
One of the vehicles had collided with the front of the victim’s car and the other with the rear of the car.
