NEW IMAGES RELEASED AFTER A MAN WAS LEFT LYING UNCONSCIOUS ON A DUAL CARRIAGEWAY AS HE MADE HIS WAY HOME FROM HIS WORK’S PARTY.

As he reached the former Salford Crescent Police Station, he was approached by a woman who asked him for £1 so she could get to Walkden.

When he told her he didn’t have any change, the woman, who was now in the company of a man, took his phone.

A short time later he was hit from behind leaving him unconscious in a lane of the Crescent.

It’s believed the couple fled down Hulme Street.

He suffered a fractured right cheekbone and cuts to his upper right lip and left eyebrow.

Officers investigating the assault have released two images of people they want to speak to.

Detective Constable Al Barker of GMP’s Salford Borough said:

“Although this was a month ago, I’m hoping people can think back to that time and get in touch with us if they know anything about the attack.

“For someone to attack another person and leave them lying in the road is nothing short of heartless but thanks to the quick thinking of a passer-by, the man was taken to hospital for the treatment he needed.

“There weren’t a lot of people around in the area due to the time of the incident but please, whatever you know, get in touch with us.”
