A nightclubber was seriously hurt when he was attacked by a group of men in an alley after he left an Old Town club in the early hours.

The victim, who is in his 30s, left Tree at 4am today and was in the alley between Hoopers Place and the High Street when the attack happened. He was taken to hospital with what Wiltshire Police described as significant, but not life-threatening injuries.

A spokesman said: “Unfortunately, we don’t have a description of the attackers, but it is understood there were plenty of people around at this time who may have witnessed what happened.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
