Three women injured in Baa Bar assault

Two women have been left with broken jaws and one with a broken nose after an attack outside Baa Bar.

One of the women was also knocked unconscious during the attack.

A group of women and men were assaulted in a taxi outside the bar in Fallowfield, at around 3a.m. on Saturday 22^nd February.

The men allegedly attempted to get into the taxi with the group, and became violent when they refused to let them in. The men had previously been refused entry to Baa Bar.

An offender assaulted one of the women inside the taxi, leaving her unconscious. When other members of the group tried to intervene, they too were attacked by the men.

Of the five people who were assaulted, one woman was left with a broken jaw and extensive face swelling, while another suffered a suspected broken jaw. A third woman suffered a broken nose and the two men were left with cuts.

The offenders then left the scene and started up Wilbraham road, where one member smashed a window with a metal pole.

Detective Sergeant Gareth Davies, said, “Grown men attacking women with such violence and in such an unprovoked manner is particularly unpalatable and a completely cowardly act and we are working hard to identify the men responsible.

“Three of them – all women – have suffered particularly nasty injuries.

“I want to reassure the public that we are following a number of lines of enquiry but if anyone has any information that can help our investigation we would be keen to hear from you.”

Anyone who witnessed the attack, or has any other information are urged to call the police on 0161 856 4423, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111
