Police are appealing for information after a woman sustained a head injury when she was assaulted in Tewkesbury last Friday (September 23).

At around 4.30pm there was a verbal altercation inside a shop on Queens Road which involved four people who are known to each other.

The altercation continued onto Warwick Place, and one of the group, a woman, left and went to a nearby address.

A group of people then congregated in the street and threats were heard being made towards her.

The woman was subsequently attacked in a communal staircase inside a block of flats and sustained a wound to her head.

She attended hospital for treatment and is now recovering.

Three males from Tewkesbury, aged between 15 and 25, were arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm. One of them was also arrested on suspicion of criminal damage. They were all later released on bail.

Enquiries have been ongoing and police are keen to hear from anyone who saw what took place, or who has any information which could assist the ongoing investigation.
