​At about 11:25 on Friday 16 April 2021, two men got out of a white Vauxhall Astra and assaulted a 40-year-old man on a grass verge by punching and kicking him repeatedly.

The pair then set a dog on their victim, described by a witness as a brown Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

The victim, who is believed to be known to the attackers, suffered a fractured jaw, eye socket and broken nose and was taken to a Northumbrian medical facility for treatment.

Shortly after the attack, the two offenders made off in the Astra and drove away from the scene.

Enquiries are ongoing into the circumstances surrounding the assault and the identities of those involved.

Police are now asking anybody who witnessed the incident to come forward.

Detective Constable David Holcroft, of Northumbria Police, said:

"This attack happened in broad daylight in a busy area.  We believe there will be people who witnessed the incident and we are asking them to do the right thing and come forward.  We are committed to ensuring those responsible are brought to justice for their crimes.  There is no place for violence on our streets and we are using every tactic at our disposal in order to get to the bottom of what happened."

DC Holcroft, concluded:

"If you know anything about the incident, or think you may know who was involved, please get in touch."

Anyone with information is asked to contact police or by calling 101 quoting log 260 16 April 2021.

Alternatively, those with information can pass on information anonymously via independent charity CrimeStoppers by ringing 0800 555 111.
