TWO men are suffering from facial injuries after a serious assault in Selby which left them both in hospital - and one required plastic surgery.

The incident happened at around 11.30pm on Friday October 1 at The Finkle bar in Finkle Street. Two men in their 30s were assaulted by two other men on the first floor of the venue.

The first man suffered significant bruising to his face and attended hospital for his injuries. He has required plastic surgery to his left eye lid and further stitches in his face. The second man has suffered cracked ribs and significant pain around his face. Both are recovering following hospital treatment.

North Yorkshire Police are requesting the public’s assistance to help establish the identities of two men the force believe may have information about the attack.

He was wearing a black t-shirt with distinctive orange and blue squares on the back with a pattern on each square. On the front left of the t-shirt, there was a square image of piano keys and writing on the right.

The second man police would like to speak to is white, clean shaven with brown hair. He appeared to be wearing a khaki coloured zip up jacket with a dark coloured hoodie underneath.
