Police want to speak to these men after two injured in Rochdale town centre attacks

Police have released CCTV images of three men they are trying to find after two separate assaults in Rochdale.

Two men, both in their 20s, were attacked at around the same time in the town centre.

Police were called to a report of a fight on Packer Street, near Ko-Ko Kobana Lounge, at about 4.30am on Saturday, February 8.

When officers arrived they established there had been two assaults in the same area at the time.

Officer have now released new CCTV stills of three men they wish to speak in connection with the assaults.

Both men were taken to hospital and have now been discharged.

No arrests have been made and an investigation is still underway.

Police are appealing for witnesses.

Detective Sergeant Andrew Dixon, of GMP’s Rochdale division, said: "These nasty assaults could easily have resulted in even more serious consequences so, despite them happening a few weeks ago, our enquiries are very much ongoing.

"We don’t believe they are linked but, due to them happening at the end of a night out, it is likely there were people in the area at the time who can assist us with both sets of enquiries.

"If you recognise the men in the CCTV or have any other information then please get in touch with us."

Anyone with information should contact police on 0161 856 4668 quoting 558 08/02/2020.

Alternatively, the independent charity – Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800 555 111.
