Wiltshire Police is appealing for witnesses after a man was assaulted in the Haydon Wick area of Swindon. 

Keith Lee (58) was walking home from the Fox and Hounds Pub in Haydon Wick at around 11pm on Sunday 22 January 2017; as he walked through an alleyway between Greenmeadow Avenue and Helmsdale, Greenmeadow, he was hit on the back of the head and to the face which knocked him unconscious. 

He woke the next morning at home in bed fully clothed, but had no recollection how he got there. 

He had suffered concussion, a broken nose and loose teeth and received hospital treatment.  

His wallet, phone and watch were untouched. 

PC Jo Phelps said:  "We would like to speak to anyone who may have seen or heard anything suspicious in the Greenmeadow Avenue and Helmsdale area around this time.  

"Also, we would like to speak to anyone drinking at the Fox and Hounds that evening;  did you hear or see anything suspicious in the pub? Possibly a man leaving and being followed by someone?"  

 If you can help with our enquiries please contact PC Jo Phelps on 101 or anonymously, via Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111. Contact can also be made via e-mail: [email protected]
