A man was punched in the face in a Chippenham street.

Police appealed for witnesses to the assault, which happened between 3pm and 4pm on Tuesday in Palmer Street when the victim, who was in his 30s, was hit by another in his 50s.

The incident followed a verbal altercation between the two.

PC Laura Hughes said: "We are particularly keen to hear from a group of young people who were at the scene and spoke to the victim.

"If you were part of that group, please come forward to help us identify the perpetrator.

"We would also like to speak to anyone else who may have heard or seen anything suspicious in this area around these times and on this date."
