A MAN sustained a broken cheekbone after being assaulted in Hereford city centre on Sunday.

Two men became involved in a row outside the Long Bar at around 9.30pm before going their separate ways.

However, they then got into a second confrontation outside Wetherspoons, which became physical.

One of the men, who is aged 30, sustained two puncture wounds to his face and a broken cheekbone.

Within minutes, it is alleged that a second assault happened on the other side of the road outside the RSPCA shop, involving a friend of the victim and the suspect.

No injuries were reported.

A 34-year-old man has been arrested and has been released on Police bail.

Police are keen to hear from any witnesses and anyone who saw a man wearing a green khaki coat in Commercial Road between 9.30pm and 10.30pm on Sunday night.

They can be contacted on 0300 333 3000.
