Couple walking home viciously attacked by men with 'metal bar', victim left with 11 staples in head
A couple walking home through a Staffordshire town from a night out were brutally assaulted by unknown men including an attack with an object that left a man needing staples.
The couple were passing the Jaipur restaurant on Market Street in Hednesford on their way home, just before 12.30am on Sunday, October 8, when two males got out of their vehicle and attacked them.
One of the assailants punched the woman in the face, and when her partner came to her aid, he was hit over the head with what is believed to be a metal bar.
He was given 11 staples in the head due to his injuries.
The two attackers are believed to have been in an Audi A4 and Staffordshire Police is now appealing for information about the violent incident.

Officers are continuing with their initial inquiries and are keen to speak to anyone who may have any information or CCTV, dashcam or doorbell footage from the area at the time.
If you witnessed the assault or have any information that could help with their inquiries, call the force on 101, quoting incident 23 of October 8, or visit the force website west-midlands.police.
