Appeal following unprovoked assault on Cleeve Common

Gloucestershire Constabulary are appealing for information following an unprovoked assault on Cleeve Common last month.

A man aged in his 50s was stood outside a parked car in a layby on Aggs Hill in Cheltenham on Tuesday, September 8 when he was approached by four unknown men.
