Appeal: Male seriously injured following assault in Ackworth Police are appealing for information after a 29-year-old local man was suffered serious facial injuries after he was assaulted following an incident on Barnsley Road in Ackworth last night (4 Nov). Detective Sergeant David Rogerson, from Wakefield CID, said: The incident occurred 10.10pm when the complainant was driving along Barnsley Road when he slowed his vehicle after seeing a group of teenagers step into the road. The suspects are then alleged to have verbally abused the driver of the vehicle and this led to a confrontation in which the driver was punched in the face and then assaulted by a group consisting of five to six white male teenagers after he had fallen to the floor. The suspects have then fled the area on foot. As a result of the assault the victim, who is from the Pontefract area, was taken to hospital with serious facial injuries, including a fractured jaw, that will require surgery. The suspects are all believed to be white males who are thought to be around 16-17 years of age. This was a vicious and cowardly assault by a group of individuals on one man that has left the victim with a significant injury. I would appeal to local people in Ackworth to contact police with any information they have about this incident. If anyone has any suspicions about those involved or may have been affected by any similar incident last night I urge them to contact officers. Anyone with information is asked to contact DS Rogerson at Wakefield CID via: 101 and quoting crime reference number: 13140428476.
