The ambulance service called police at 3:05 a.m. on Sunday, June 5, 2022, in response to an incident on Waterloo Street in the town centre.
Officers arrived and discovered that a man in his twenties had been assaulted outside a business, knocking him unconscious.
He was taken to the hospital with head injuries and is now in stable condition.
DC “Enquiries are ongoing to establish what happened in the minutes before this assault and identify all involved,” said Nicole Kelly of GMP’s Oldham district. There was a large crowd in the area when officers arrived. Despite the fact that we spoke with some of them and are reviewing CCTV footage from the town centre, I urge anyone with information to contact us.” This occurred at the end of a night out, so taxi drivers or designated drivers may have captured something significant on dash cam footage – if that’s you, I ask that you share it with us or Crimestoppers.
Anyone with information is asked to call detectives at 0161 856 8999 or 8891 and reference 417 05/06/22. Information can also be shared anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
