Detectives make progress with probe into Doncaster assault

A police probe into the incident in Balby was launched after a man was attacked by three other men on Warmsworth Road, at its junction with Holly Terrace, at 9.40am on Thursday, January 4

The three attackers, one of whom was on a bike, fled in the direction of Warmsworth.

Detectives issued an appeal for the driver and passengers of a van spotted in the area at the time of the attack to come forward in the hope that they may have witnesses the attack.
