A MAN was hospitalised with a cut ear after being struck on the head with a glass bottle.

The 22-year-old was wounded after becoming involved in an argument involving between three and four men outside the Base nightclub in Hatfield town centre.

The assault took place at around 3am on Saturday.

Following the attack, the men headed off towards Asda on foot, where it is believed they became involved in a confrontation with another group of people.

Detective Constable Glen Turrell-Oldacre, investigating, said: “Thankfully incidents of this nature are rare in the area, although it was a frightening incident for the victim to go through and we are treating it very seriously.

“I am appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time and witnessed the incident and can recognise those responsible to get in contact.”
