Fancy dress assault suspect in Leeds

    Police investigating a serious assault on a man in Leeds city centre are appealing to trace a group of men, one of whom was wearing a distinctive fancy dress outfit. 

    The victim, a 26-year-old man, was attacked at the junction of Albion Street and Boar Lane in Leeds city centre by a man who was part of a group of about ten men - one dressed as a giant penis.

    The victim received a shattered shin bone, a dislocated and cracked knee and torn ligaments. He underwent an operation at the time and further surgery will be required in the future. 

    The attacker was described as white, about 6ft tall and with a shaved head. He was wearing a beige or white top. Another of the group involved was described as shorter and of stocky build with black hair. He was wearing red and white T-shirt. 

    The incident happened at about 3am on Sunday, 2 April. 

    A police spokesperson said that while the nature of the costume worn by one of the group may be amusing to some, they hope mentioning it will help jog someone’s memory.
