AN INVESTIGATION into an assault in York has been closed by North Yorkshire Police.

A 23-year-old man was found suffering from a head injury at about 4.30am Sunday, March 26, in Coney Street, just outside the Paper Chase shop.

Part of the street was cordoned off for several hours, and the man was discharged from hospital later that day.

A 20-year-old Malton man was arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent and possession of cannabis, and released on police bail.

A spokesman for the force said on Monday the man had accepted a caution for cannabis possession, and “will face no further action in connection with the assault”.
