An assault which took place yesterday (Wednesday July 22) has left a 33 year-old man in hospital.

The attack which happened in a garden in the Kerria area of the town is the latest in a string of violent events in the town in the past few weeks.

Police believe that three offenders, all male, first approached the 33-year old man, followed him into the garden then assaulted him.  They then quickly made off across the nearby Kerria car park.

The victim which is currently unnamed was taken to Burton’s Queen’s Hospital where his condition is described as stable.

Police have carried out house to house enquiries around the Kerria area and are appealing for anyone with any information to contact them.

Anyone who can help should contact Tamworth CID, telephone 0300 123 44 55 or, call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
