Witness appeal following fights in Swindon

Wiltshire Police are looking to speak to anyone who was out in Swindon town centre in the early hours of Saturday 14th August and saw a number of fights take place in Bridge Street.

They happened between 2.55am and 3.20am when a group of men assaulted a number of people in the area, resulting in a man and a woman being knocked out after being kicked in the head and another man who suffered a serious injury to his eye.

The man photographed in the white t-shirt, jeans and white trainers was injured as a result of the fight and so police would like to hear from him.

Three men are wanted in connection with these incidents. Two have already been identified but the third man, wearing the grey cap, is yet to be identified.

The three men in the below picture are being treated as witnesses and police would like to hear from them as well and also anyone else who was a witness to these events.

Inspector Colin Conway said, “It might seem normal for some people to expect there to be fighting at the end of a night out but this type of behaviour, especially kicking people in the head is completely unacceptable and not something we’ll tolerate in Wiltshire.

“A number of people were injured and it’s ruined their night.

“I know that there were witnesses to the fighting so if you saw it or were a victim of an assault, I’m asking you to come forward.”
