A MAN has been assaulted as he walked with his son along the Great Western Way in Hereford.

The pair were walking home around 11.50pm on Tuesday, May 20 close to Ethelstan Crescent, Newton Farm, when they came across a man and a youth.

The older of the two took off his shirt and made comments to the father and son as they walked past.

The pair ignored this but shortly after, the man ran up to the dad and assaulted him, leaving him with arm and stomach injuries.

The attacker and the youth he was with ran off after being told the police had been called.

The attacker is described as white, aged around 18 or 19 and six feet tall. He is said to be slim with short dark hair.

The youth he was with was also white, around 15 or 16, 5ft 6ins tall and of medium build.
