Police in Nottingham cordoned off a petrol station on a busy city road following an assault which left a young man with serious injuries. A man in his 20s entered the Esso garage shop in Nuthall Road, Whitemoor in Nottingham, at 5.45am on Sunday, April 2.
Police say the man had suffered 'serious injuries' and he is currently in hospital. His injuries are not thought to be life threatening.
Detective Sergeant James Hirst, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was a violent assault that left a young man in hospital. We are currently investigating what happened in the moments before, during and after this incident and urge any potential witnesses to come forward.
“Even at this time of the morning on a Sunday, this is a busy road and we believe there may be motorists with dash-cam footage which could help with our investigation. There will be a large police presence in the area today while we carry out inquiries but we currently believe this to have been an isolated incident with no wider risk to the public.
“If anyone has concerns, I would encourage them to speak to an officer.” Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting incident 158 of 2 April 2023 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
