POLICE are investigating a late-night attack in Stockton where two people were reportedly assaulted by a group of unknown offenders.
According to early information about the incident, two people were walking home from the Stockton ferry when they were attacked by a group of individuals on Mitchell Street.
Paramedics were initially called, but never attended the scene after being told to stand down. The 35-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman, who were allegedly assaulted, drove themselves to John Hunter Hospital for treatment instead.
