Police are appealing for information from the public following a serious assault in Edendale on the weekend.
At around 10.55pm on Saturday (15 November), a woman knocked on the victim's door, saying she had a flat tyre and needed help.
The victim - a man in his 50s - walked with the woman to the corner of Melvin Street and Turner Street, where he was accosted by a man and assaulted.
During the assault, the offender also attempted to restrain the victim by tying his hands behind his back.
The victim suffered serious injuries in the assault, including a fractured eye socket and broken nose.
Enquiries are under way to establish the identity of the man and woman involved in this incident and we're hoping Edendale residents can help.
Following the assault, the victim saw an SUV leaving the area at speed, and we believe it is likely the man and woman were in this SUV.
To help us locate this vehicle, we would like to hear from any residents who have street-facing security cameras on Turner Street, Melvin Street, Seawood Road or Ferry Road, and who may have captured footage of the vehicle on Saturday night.
We would also like to speak to anyone who saw an SUV in the Edendale township between 10pm and midnight, or anyone with other information which could assist our enquiries.
