A man suffered head and eye injuries when he was attacked by a man and a woman in Guildford on Tuesday evening (March 17).

The victim, in his 40s, had been walking through the grounds of Allen House between Eastgate Gardens and Chertsey Street between 5.30pm and 6pm.

The man is being treated in hospital for injuries to his head and eye.

“We would like to trace anyone who witnessed this incident and I am appealing for anyone with any information to call us on 101 – any details could prove vital to the investigation and help bring those responsible to justice.”
