Police investigating a serious assault in Stratford yesterday evening are asking the public for information surrounding the incident.

“The victim was walking through the entrance near the old Maryann Residential Care Hospital in King Edward Park around 6pm when they were assaulted by a male. They suffered injuries that require hospital treatment”, said Detective Senior Sergeant Paula Drewery.

“Of particular interest is a woman walking a Schnauzer-type dog in the same area of the park at the time. Police believe that her recollections may be of help.

“If you were in the area at the time, have any sort of CCTV that looks into the park, or have any other information from between 5pm and 10pm that might be of help, please call 105.”
