Police Appeal After Serious Assault in Bridlington

Monday, 25 October 2021 17:28

A man has been hospitalised after a machete attack in the town.

Humberside Police say officers attended an address on Lansdowne Road, Bridlington on Monday at approximately 2.20pm following reports of a serious assault.

A man was taken to hospital with serious injuries to his arm and hand, which are thankfully not thought to be life changing or life threatening.

Police believe four men attended the property, assaulted the man with a machete and then fled in a black Mitsubishi Shogun Sport towards the Leisure Centre.

A police investigation is ongoing to determine those responsible, however it is believed this incident was isolated and between those known to one another.

Locals to the area can expect a high presence of officers in the area whilst enquiries continue, but also to speak to anyone who may have any concerns or helpful information.

Police said they would like to thank members of the public who have already assisted with the investigation and added they could be contacted on 101.
