A MAN has been left with life-threatening injures after a vicious assault and police are appealing for a potential key witness to come forward.
The 53-year-old victim was attacked in Durham Place, Scarborough, at around 10pm on Friday, September 15 and is currently being treated at Scarborough District Hospital.
Following enquiries, three local men, aged 31, 26 and 20, have been arrested and charged in relation to the incident.
They are due to appear at Scarborough Magistrates’ Court on Monday, September 18.
In the meantime, officers need to speak to a man who is known to have walked along Durham Place and into North Marine Road while the incident was ongoing. This man is not suspected of any offences and could be a key witness.
If you can help, call North Yorkshire Police on 101 and ask for the Scarborough Serious Crime Team or email Scarborough&RyedaleSCT@Northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk
