A man suffered a suspected fractured cheekbone after being attacked by two thugs in Wellingborough.

The victim, a man in his 30s, was having a disagreement with his partner when they were approached by two males in Brickhill Road, near the Westfield Road junction.

The males then kicked and punched him for ‘reasons not yet known’, police said, as they appealed for witnesses to the incident which took place between 7pm and 7.30pm on Friday, March 15.
