Woman’s jaw broken by thugs

A WOMAN suffered a broken jaw after being punched in the face in Oldham town centre.

The 24-year-old victim was walking to a car in Wright Street at 1.30am after a night out in Yorkshire Street on Sunday, January 16.

A group of seven men approached her and verbally abused her before knocking her to the floor with a punch to the face.

The main offender is described as an Asian man, about 25-years-old, of slim build, 5ft 5in with spikey black hair.

He had a local accent and was wearing a white shirt. The group ran off towards Yorkshire Street after the attack.

Det Cons Simon Halliwell said: “This was a completely unprovoked and incomprehensible attack.

“We have carried out a number of inquiries to trace the offender but we do need witnesses, or anyone with information, to get in touch.”

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 0161 856 8965 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
