We’re appealing for witnesses and those with footage or information to come forward and assist with our investigation into a machete attack in Sheffield.

On Sunday 20 October around 3.10am, it is reported a man was standing outside Barry’s Bar on London Road when he was approached by a group of unknown men. It is alleged the men assaulted the victim with weapons,
including a machete.

The victim, aged 32, was taken to hospital.
