Man left badly injured after serious assault in Branksome Hill Road

Police in Bournemouth are appealing for witnesses and anyone with information to come forward after a man was assaulted in Meyrick Park.

The incident occurred between 6pm and 7pm last night in Branksome Hill Road and left a 46-year-old Bournemouth man badly injured.

Detective Inspector Steve O’Donoghue, of Bournemouth and Poole CID, said: “This is an extremely nasty attack and the victim has been left with very serious injuries.

“I am appealing for witnesses to assist with the investigation.

“This crime may have been committed by one or more offenders but unfortunately the victim is unable to provide further details.

“Witness and anyone with information are asked to contact police as soon as possible in the strictest confidence.”

No one has been arrested.

maybe Bournemouth should be ring fenced and pre-purchased tickets only event every holiday and weekend night to prevent the scum that are behaving like vultures on this towns community...in the past week I have heard about this via the echo and two other incidences! am sure that is the very tip of the ice burgh!

Perhaps if the Echo used Bournemouth based journalists the writer if this article would know that Branksome Hill Road is not in Meyrick Park !
Doubt if the police will find many witnesses coming forward in a quiet road at that time of the evening. Most people sadly don't want to get involved for fear of incriminating themselves. C'est la vie....

Almost every day stories like this. Bournemouth isn't the place it once was.

Dorset police won't do anything... It's all show... They arrest people for reporting a crime and do nothing when a crime is being committed. When witnesses are being threatened they turn their backs but will send 3 police cars to arrest someone for stealing a packet of biscuits... Yes! They really did!
