MYSTERY surrounds a vicious attack on a man as he walked home from a Haydon Wick pub before waking up in bed the following morning with no recollection of how he got there.

Keith Lee, 58, was on his way home from the Fox and Hounds Pub on Sunday, January 22, at around 11pm when the brutal attack happened as he walked through an alleyway between Greenmeadow Avenue and Helmsdale.

He was hit on the back of the head and to his face, being knocked unconscious.

He then woke up the next morning at home in bed, fully clothed, but had no recollection of how he got there.

Keith had suffered concussion, a broken nose and loose teeth and received hospital treatment, but his wallet, phone and watch were untouched.

PC Jo Phelps said: "We would like to speak to anyone who may have seen or heard anything suspicious in the Greenmeadow Avenue and Helmsdale area around this time.

"Also, we would like to speak to anyone drinking at the Fox and Hounds that evening; did you hear or see anything suspicious in the pub - possibly a man leaving and being followed by someone?"
