Man hit by car and assaulted in Bury St Edmunds

Police are appealing for witnesses after a man was struck by a car and assaulted in Bury St Edmunds.

Police were called at about 3.10am yesterday (Sunday, June 14) to the incident in the vicinity of Risbygate Street and Springfield Road.

A 29-year-old man reported that a green Skoda mounted the kerb and struck him, before one of the occupants got out of the vehicle and assaulted him.

Another man and a woman – also aged in their 20s – were also assaulted during the incident.

Before this another member of their group – a 30-year-old man – was assaulted in Parkway at about 3am.

No one suffered any serious injuries, but the man who was struck by the car received treatment for a cut to the head.

Detectives believe that these incidents are linked to an earlier argument in Flex nightclub in St Andrew's Street South and that at least one of the people in each group were known to each other.

Anyone who witnessed the incidents in either Parkway, Risbygate Street or Springfield Road, between 3am and 3.10am yesterday morning, is asked to contact West CID at Bury St Edmunds Police Station, quoting reference 41126/19.
