Appeal for information after two assaults in Hartlepool Police are appealing for information following two assaults in Hartlepool in the early hours of today. A 26 year old man suffered serious head injuries during the assault at a bus stop near Yates’ Wine Lodge in Victoria Road at around 4.20am this morning. He was taken by ambulance to James Cook University Hospital where he remains receiving treatment. We have not yet received a condition check for him. A second man, aged 24, had been assaulted just prior to this near the Grand Hotel on Swainston Street. He suffered serious facial injuries and was taken to the University Hospital of North Tees for treatment. He was later transferred to James Cook University Hospital. Police are carrying out enquiries into both attacks, and are trying to establish if they are linked. A 30 year old man was arrested in connection with an incident believed to be related to these assaults and he has now been released on bail pending further enquiries. Meanwhile police continue to look for a suspect in relation to the two serious assaults. Anyone with information who has not yet spoken with police is asked to contact Cleveland Police on the non-emergency number 101.
