THREE teenagers have been arrested and bailed following a violent attack in Chorley.

Police arrested the boys in connection with an unprovoked gang attack of a 45-year-old man.

Thomas Graham was left with serious facial injuries after he was targeted on Lyons Lane at around 10.30pm on Saturday, May 7.

A spokesman for Chorley Police said: "Over the past two days three teenage males have been arrested in relation to this violent attack and have been released on bail pending further enquiries.

"Whilst no charges have yet been brought we would like to reassure you that all possible is being done to bring the offenders for this assault to justice.

"The three males arrested are currently on bail conditions which include a night-time curfew."

Following a brief conversation, Mr Graham started to walk away from the group, when one of them punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground.

The attacker and another two to three people started to repeatedly kick the victim in the head, face and body.

Anyone with information should contact police on 101 quoting SC1602853.
