Man hurt in alleged hammer attack at recycling centre

Three men are believed to have attacked the man with a hammer

A man was taken to hospital with head injuries after an alleged hammer attack at Immingham Community Recycling Centre.

Police were called to the centre on Queens Road at 13:25 BST on 19 June after reports a man had been assaulted by three people, with what is believed to be a hammer.

The alleged attackers are said to have fled the scene prior to officers arriving and a 43-year-old man was taken to hospital to receive treatment.

Anyone with information is being urged to contact Humberside Police.

Det Insp Tom Kelly said that although officers are in the early stages of enquiries, "we do believe this to be an incident between people known to each other".

The appeal for witnesses includes anyone who has dashcam footage of Queens Road around the time of the incident.
