Man in hospital after being assaulted in Sudbury

A man is recovering in hospital after being seriously assaulted in Sudbury after coming out of the Infinity nightclub.

A police officer was flagged down by a member of the public in East Street at 8.30am on Monday, May 2, who was with a man found injured on the ground.

An ambulance arrived shortly afterwards having already been called and the man was taken to the West Suffolk Hospital, in Bury St Edmunds.

The victim was later found to have suffered a broken ankle, a broken nose and potentially a broken knee and remains in hospital for treatment.

The victim had left the nightclub in East Street at around 3am and was assaulted at a point between the club and the Brewery Tap pub a short while after leaving.
