TWO people have been arrested after a fight broke out in a town centre in broad daylight in which a man suffered face and neck injuries.

A 31-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman, both from Letchworth GC, have been arrested on suspicion of assault following an incident in Letchworth GC town centre last Tuesday, September 20.

Police were called at around 1.30pm to reports of an altercation involving two men and one woman, which is believed to have started near to the Garden House Hospice shop in Eastcheap.

The man and woman had a small child and a buggy with them at the time.

It is believed there was an exchange of words before a fight occurred outside The Colonade pub, in which a 26-year-old man suffered injuries to his face and neck.

Martin McGovern, from the Case Investigation Team at Stevenage Police Station, is investigating.

He said: “There were a number of people in town that day who will have seen what happened and I would ask that you contact police with information. I am particularly keen to hear from people who were near the shop where we believe the incident began.”

Anyone with information should call the Hertfordshire Constabulary non-emergency number 101. Alternatively call Crimestoppers, an independent charity, anonymously on 0800 555 111. You could be entitled to a cash reward.

*The 31-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman have been released on police bail until December 15 pending further inquiries.
