Write a commentLocal Police are appealing for information on two separate assaults in the Newry area.
The first is a reported assault outside licensed premises in the Forkhill Road area in the early hours of Saturday 9th November.
Around 1.15am a taxi driver was assaulted by a man who was described as being around 30 years old, medium/heavy build with short hair and was wearing a pink/purple shirt and jeans. He was accompanied by another man and a woman and it is believed that all three were picked up by a different taxi firm a short time after the assault and taken to the Dornan's Hill area of Newry. The taxi driver sustained cuts and bruising to his body and head.
A second assault was reported in the Kildare Street area in the early hours of Monday 11th November. The assault is believed to have taken place at around 12.15am near licensed premises when a man was attacked by two males. The man was taken to hospital to be treated for a suspected fractured jaw.
Police would ask anyone with any information about either of these incidents to contact them in Ardmore on 0845 600 8000. Or, if someone would prefer to provide information without giving their details, they can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers and speak to them anonymously on 0800 555 111
