Wiltshire Police are appealing for witnesses following an assault in Westbury.
The incident happened at around 9.45pm on Thursday 8th October 2015, on Station Road near to Protyres.
The victim, a 27 year old man from the town, was approached by a group of males who assaulted him, causing a cut to his head. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured.
Two men from the local area have been arrested on suspicion of assault, and released on police bail pending further enquiries.
PC Paula Manley said, “We believe this is a targeted assault on the victim. This is a busy area of Westbury and it is likely there would have been a lot of people around at the time. I am interested in speaking with anyone who may have seen or heard anything.”
