An appeal for information has been made by police after a man has suffered a suspected fractured skull after being attacked in Stockport. The 31 year old man was assaulted on Dryden Avenue in Stockport at around 8pm on 19th June 2015.

The victim had been involved in some sort of altercation with the offender, who attacked him, and knocked him to the ground. As a result, the victim has sustained a suspected fracture to his skull and a bleed on his brain, and he is currently receiving treatment for his injuries in hospital.

The offender has been described as being white, about 5ft 7in tall, of a medium build, in his mid-20s and had been wearing a beige jacket and blue jeans. He was seen to walk off from Dryden Avenue onto Stockport Road where he turned towards Cheadle village.

Detective Sergeant Stephen Hartley said ‘What we know at this stage is that the victim and his attacker got into some sort of argument and, as a result, the offender turned violent. We are keeping an open mind as to what the motive was for this assault.

‘The victim sustained a suspected fractured skull and a bleed to his brain so his injuries are very serious. I would appeal to anyone who either witnessed the attack, or has information about who they suspect might be responsible, to come forward and speak to us.’

Anybody who has any information has been asked to contact police on 101, or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111, or Cheadle Heath Police Station on 0161 856 9770.
