Police are appealing for information after a Devizes man was knocked unconscious in an attack outside the Azuza Nightclub in Marlborough.

There was a disorder inside the club involving a group of men and women shortly before 2am on Sunday, October 12.

A short time later a 30-year-old man from Devizes was assaulted outside the club, being knocked unconscious.

Paramedics attended and he was taken to hospital suffering with a dislocated shoulder and a bleed on his brain.

Although discharged from hospital he is still receiving treatment for his injuries.

A 27-year-old man from Tidworth was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm. He was subsequently released on police bail pending further enquiries.

DC Mark Tylee said: ‘This was a serious incident which left the victim with significant injuries. I would like to appeal for anyone who saw the attack outside of Azuza to contact us.

"We have spoken to a number of people but know that there were further witnesses who have yet to come forward and they may have important information to assist with the investigation."

Anyone who has information is asked to contact DC Tylee at Melksham CID on 101. Alternatively call Crimestoppers 0800 555 111 where details may be left anonymously if preferred.
