Man Attacked After Tesco Shop Run in Salisbury
A man suffered punches and dog bites after a late-night stroll turned violent on Bridge Road, Salisbury.
Shocking Attack Outside King’s Head Pub

Thankfully, the bus driver helped the victim to safety. He was later treated for his injuries at Salisbury A&E.
