Two Assaulted After Fight Over Bag Of Chips

An argument over a bag of chips has led to two men being assaulted inside a Birmingham takeaway, police have said.

The attack happened inside Skipper's Dish Bar on Horsefair last month, but police have now released CCTV images of people they would like to speak to in connection with the incident.

It is understood the two men, both in their late teens, were on a night out at one of the city's nightclub when they chose to go to a nearby fish and chip shop before heading home. Once inside the shop, the pair found a group of other youngsters inside, who began to throw chips at them. An argument started before the two men were physically attacked, leaving them both needing hospital treatment for facial injuries.

DC Justin Le Fort, from Birmingham Force CID, said: "It seems that the fall out started over very little but then the dispute turned violent and the two young men were left needing stitches to injuries sustained during the fracas.

"We have carried out enquiries and now need help from the public to identify those inside the fish bar at the time, who might be able to help with the investigation."

The incident happened just after 4am on Saturday 9 November.

Anyone with information should call DC Le Fort in Birmingham West and Central Major Investigation Team on 101 or speak to Crimestoppers anonymously by calling 0800 555 111.

Woman Robbed In Wykin Park

Witness are being sought after a woman was robbed by three people in a local park in Hinckley.

The incident took place sometime between 8.45pm and 9pm last Wednesday (4 December) in Wykin Park, Hinckley. The woman, 46, was walking her dog in the park when she was approached by three people. One of them grabbed her in a bear hug while the other shone a torch in her eyes and demanded property from her.

The victim was not hurt during the incident, but the suspects stole jewellery and an iPod Shuffle. They fled in the direction of Normandy Way, police have said.

The suspect who spoke to the victim was about 6'2" tall and had his face covered but spoke with a local accent. The second suspect was about 5'7" and was wearing dark clothing and also had his face covered. The suspect who held the victim from behind was believed to be a man.

Detective Constable Alistair Hopkinson said: "This was a frightening incident for the victim who was going about her daily business, the individuals who committed this incident have no regard for the affect their actions would have on the victim and we need to catch those responsible.

"If you witnessed the incident or saw three people acting suspiciously in the Wykin Park area please contact us. If you have heard rumours locally about who may be responsible we would urge you to get in touch."

Anyone with any information is asked to contact call 101, or contact Crimestoppers, which is free and anonymous, on 0800 555 111.
