The frontage and alleyway outside the Bull and Dog pub in town were cordoned off with police tape overnight and this morning (Saturday) with an officer on guard awaiting forensics experts to comb the scene for evidence, which appeared to include a blood-spattered piece of cloth on the pavement in front of the pub doors.

The officer on scene could give no further details than it was a “serious assault” which took place last night.
