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.
The suspects had got out of their vehicles and attacked the victim with weapons, with him suffering injuries to his legs and face.
