THE VICTIM of an assault was followed by his two assailants as he drove through town.
The assault took place in Goldsmith Avenue on Thursday October 15 at around 7:15pm.
Two cars – thought to be a dark-coloured Ford KA a dark blue VW Golf – followed the victim as he left the M6 at junction one and drove down Leicester Road, Newbold Road and Corporation Street, onto the gyratory and along Dunchurch Road.
