Police have today (Wednesday) arrested a man in connection with their investigation into an assault in the village of Mark near Burnham-On-Sea.
Police had earlier this week appealed for the public’s help to identify a man they wanted to speak to.
It comes after another man was reported to have been hit with a shovel and punched in the village last Saturday.
Officers received reports of an assault in Kingsway, in Mark, at around 2pm on Saturday 18th November.
A spokesman says: “They attended the scene approximately half an hour later but could not locate the victim. Officers have since made contact with them and have taken a statement and secured footage of the incident.”
“The victim, a man in his 40s, suffered cuts and bruising, but did not require hospital treatment.”
