Cheshire Police officers are investigating after a man was left seriously injured following an alleged attack at a petrol station.

The injured man, who is his 50s, was still in hospital two days after the incident at Lawton Service Station in Church Lawton, near Alsager shortly after 4pm on Friday November 6.

A 33-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and a woman, 57, was held on suspicion of assisting an offender.

The pair arrested – who are both from Newcastle-under-Lyme – have since been released on conditional bail pending further inquiries.
