TWO 21-year-old men were punched in the face and suffered minor injuries during an assault in Chippenham.

The men were assaulted at the bottom of Station Hill around 10.30pm on Wednesday, July 11.

A 40-year-old man from Chippenham was arrested on suspicion of assault and has been released under investigation.

PC Mandy Burns, said: "This incident happened not long after England lost to Croatia in the World Cup semi-finals. There would have been lots of people around the town leaving pubs nearby so it is likely someone would have seen what happened, or would have seen those involved either prior to, or after the incident.

"I'd ask anyone with information to call us on 101 and quote crime reference number 54180064045."
