A MAN broke his leg and suffered a bruised face in an attack in Banbury.

Two men were ejected from the Chicago Rock Café, in Broad Street, by doorstaff following an altercation inside just before midnight on Friday, police said today.

One of the men, 33, was attacked and received a blow to the head, leaving him unconscious for a few minutes and unable to remember what happened next.

He went to the Horton Hospital on Saturday, when it was discovered he had fractured his lower right leg as well as suffered bruising to his face.

A 26-year-old man from Bicester was arrested yesterday and released on police bail until July 5.

PC Sally Moore, of Banbury police, said: "This injury will seriously affect the victim's ability to work for weeks to come. It highlights the serious implications that this sort of mindless violence can have.

"We are appealing for witnesses to this incident to come forward to help our investigation.

"Were you outside Chicago Rock on Friday night and see it take place? Did you see the initial altercation inside?

"We believe the man who attacked the victim may have been involved in another fight immediately after this incident - were you involved or see this take please? If so, please get in touch."
