Man's eye socket and nose fractured in Castle Park attack

A man's nose and eye socket were fractured during a robbery in Castle Park.

The victim, a 25-year-old Chinese man, was walking alone through the city centre park on July 22.

At around 12.20am, four men surrounded him and then knocked him to the ground.

His wallet was stolen by the men and his bank card was used later in a shop in Old Market and a number of other transactions.

The victim has since returned home since the incident.

He describes his attackers as four as black men aged between 18 and 20.
