Man taken to hospital with serious facial injuries after attack in Weston-super-Mare

A man was sent to hospital after sustaining a serious injury in an attack.

Police were called to Regent Street in Weston-super-Mare on Friday, March 4 after an incident involving two men broke out between 10pm and 10.20pm. A man in his 20s sustained a serious facial injury and had to be taken to hospital after being punched.

In a statement, Avon and Somerset Police said: "Every weekend, like we do in all our large towns and cities, we run a policing operation in Weston to ensure people can go out and enjoy themselves safely. Therefore people can expect to see a high-visibility presence of our officers on patrol, especially on a Friday and Saturday night."
