A woman was punched with a knuckle duster in Trowbridge yesterday (Wednesday, 30 August).

Police were called to a disorder at an address in Soprano Way at around 10.30pm following reports of a serious assault having taken place.

Officers attended the scene and found a woman with severe injuries to her face. She was taken to hospital for treatment.

It’s believed the victim was punched with a knuckle duster during the incident.

Searches were carried out in the area for the suspects involved. A short time later, a connected vehicle was spotted and two dog units carried out a stop.

Police dogs Ross and Stan ensured that suspects couldn’t flee – with two males, aged 19 and 21, arrested on suspicion of inflicting grievous bodily harm.

Both males remain in custody at Gablecross for questioning.

Witnesses, or anybody with information, are asked to call 101 quoting reference number 54230091621.
