A MAN needed hospital treatment after a machete attack.

Humberside Police say officers attended an address in Lansdowne Road in Bridlington on Monday afternoon (October 25) at about 2.20pm following reports of a serious assault.

A man was taken to hospital with serious injuries to his arm and hand, which are thankfully not thought to be life changing or life threatening.

It’s believed that four men attended the property, assaulted the man with a machete and then fled in a black Mitsubishi Shogun Sport towards the Leisure Centre.

A police spokesman said: "Our investigation is ongoing to determine those responsible, however it is believed this incident was isolated and between those known to one another.

"Locals to the area can expect a high presence of officers in the area whilst enquiries continue, but also to speak to anyone who may have any concerns or helpful information.

"We’d like to thank members of the public who have already assisted with our investigation and would ask anyone who has not yet spoken to us and has any information that could assist us to contact our 101 number, quoting log 300 of October 25.

"Alternatively, if you wish to remain anonymous, you can report information via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
