A man has been taken to hospital with head injuries after being attacked by a young gang in Weston-super-Mare.
The victim, who is aged in his 20s, was assaulted in Boulevard at about 11.45pm on Sunday (August 9) by four men, believed to be approximately 18-20 years old.

Police chiefs have moved to reassure the community, saying they believe this attack was a 'one-off'.
