A MAN was attacked by three men and kicked in the head in Tidworth.
The incident happened at around 8pm on Monday, July 6 on Zouch Market.
Wiltshire Police says officers were called by a concerned member of the public who reported that a man had been assaulted by three other men in the area.
The three suspects were seen to get out of a black vehicle before attacking the man and kicking him in the head.
The three suspects then left the area.
The member of the public who reported the incident to police approached the victim following the assault to ensure they were ok, however, details of the victim were not provided.
He was seen walking off along Nepaul Road.
PC Tom Webster said: “This was clearly a disturbing incident and I am really keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident itself as well as the victim who was assaulted.
“If this was you or if you witnessed the assault please call police on 101 quoting crime reference number 54200065678.”
Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Speaking about crime in the town, the vice chairman of Tidworth Town Council, Humphry Jones, said: “Crime is very low considering the size of the town.
“You have kids who do things when they are a bit bored but we do not have much adult crime.
“An old police sergeant, Paul Oatway, in Tidworth did such a good job that he only took out one drug dealer a month.
“The population is approaching 20,000, and there is rarely anything that is a problem.
“Wiltshire police have a huge presence in the town, and they are planning to move into the new community centre.
“These plans are absolutely set in concrete and that will be their new headquarters.”
