Appeal after couple seriously assaulted in Chesterfield

We are appealing for witnesses after an assault in Chesterfield in the early hours of Saturday.

The incident happened in Corporation Street at around 2.30am on 21 May, when a woman was reportedly hit in the face by a man. Her partner then intervened, and the man hit him over the head with a bottle several times, before once again assaulting the woman by punching her in the face.

The woman sustained a broken jaw and a broken tooth during the assault.

A 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of GBH and has since been released under investigation, pending further enquiries.
