Witnesses are being sought after an 18-year-old man was left with a broken jaw following a serious assault and robbery.
Police are appealing for witnesses after a man was seriously assaulted in a robbery on the Dartington Estate near Totnes on Sunday, 4 April.
The 18-year-old man was left with a broken jaw after being assaulted by a group of males around 6.45pm.
The victim and his three friends were walking towards the river when they were approached by the group in a black BMW.
Detective Constable Rich Jones, from Newton Abbot Station, said: “The man was then assaulted by three or four male occupants of the car, causing him significant injuries requiring hospitalisation and surgery.
“The attack on the victim stopped after a short time and members of the public who were nearby came to the aid of the victim and his friends.
“We believe that there were a number of potential witnesses to this attack and that they may be able to provide evidence to police.”
Three people have been arrested on suspicion of robbery. A 17-year-old boy and a 20-year-old man from Totnes, and a 17-year-old boy from Newton Abbot have been released on police bail, pending further enquiries, until Friday, 30 April.
