Appeal for information following serious assault in Cuddington

Detectives are appealing for witnesses and video footage after a teenager was seriously assaulted in Cuddington.

The incident is believed to have begun at around 3.10pm on Tuesday 23 December when the victim, a 19-year-old man from Winsford, was involved in an altercation with a man outside an address on Fir Lane, Cuddington.

Following the initial incident the victim fled the scene on a black and red Lexmoto motorcycle, followed by the suspect who was travelling in a black Audi A3.

The pair are then believed to have been involved in a second altercation which occurred at around 3.40pm on Dalefords Lane in Marton.

The victim was subsequently taken to hospital by family members where he remains at this time. His injuries are described as serious.

Enquiries are ongoing and a 21-year-old man from Winsford has been arrested on suspicion of section 18 assault in relation to the incident.

Detective Sergeant Neil Mooney, of Northwich CID, said: 

“I’d like to reassure residents that this is believed to be a targeted incident and there is no risk to the public.

“A 21-year-old man has already been arrested, and he is currently being questioned by officers.

“As part of our ongoing enquiries we would like to hear from anyone who was in the Fir Lane or Dalefords Lane area and believes they may have witnessed the incidents.

“We’re also keen to hear from anyone who was driving on Weaverham Road or Dalefords Lane between 3.30pm and 4pm yesterday (Tuesday 23 December) and may have any dashcam footage of the incident, or the vehicles involved.

“The same goes for anyone in Cuddington or Marton with any CCTV or doorbell footage which may aid our investigation.”
