Police say the victim was assaulted in Millbrook Road at around 5.30pm on Sunday.

He told officers he’d been assaulted in Millbrook Road by two men, who had then run away.

An ambulance attended and the man received further treatment, although his injuries were not thought to have been life threatening.

Sgt Victoria Cunningham said: “Enquiries into this incident are ongoing, and we’re keen to find the people responsible for the assault.

“I am urging anyone who was in either Millbrook Road or Ampthill Road between 5pm and 5.30pm on the afternoon of the incident to cast their minds back – did you see anything suspicious, or anyone leaving the area in a hurry?”
