Appeal for witnesses to assault in Winchester

We are appealing for witnesses following an assault of a man in Southgate Street, Winchester.

The incident occurred just after in the early hours of Sunday 29 January, just after midnight.

We realise some time has passed since then, and officers have been making a number of enquiries in this time, but we now need to hear from any further witnesses to the incident.
