Police appeal for witnesses to assaults

Police are calling for the public’s help in their investigation into a serious assault in Geelong’s CBD last November.

Police said a 25-year-old Whittington man was involved in an altercation with three men when one allegedly punched him to the head, knocking him unconscious, at the intersection of Moorabool and Corio streets about 1.30am on Sunday, November 21.

The victim fell to the ground and was helped by passers-by, before he was taken to hospital with serious injuries that required surgery.

The three men left the scene walking south on Moorabool Street towards Malop Street, police said.

Police have released CCTV images of the three men, who they hope to identify and speak to about the alleged incident.

The men appear to be Caucasian and aged in their early 20s.

The first man has a medium build, brown mullet-style hair and moustache. He was wearing a black cap, white shirt, dark pants and white runners.

The second man has a slim build and short hair. He was wearing a white t-shirt with a large dark print on the front, dark pants and dark shoes.

The third man has a medium build and light-coloured hair tied in a bun. He was wearing black clothing and dark shoes.

Police are also calling for information and witnesses to an assault last week.

Geelong Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating after two 15-year-old girls were injured during a fight in the CBD on Friday night.

Police have been told two girls were approached by a group of teenage girls on Banks Place near Malop Street about 7.20pm.

The victims were allegedly punched and kicked before the group fled the scene.

One of the victims was taken to hospital for treatment.

Detectives are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident and no arrests have been made.

The incident came about a month after a similar incident where three 15-year-old girls were allegedly assaulted by a group of teenaged females in Rock O’Cashel Lane in December.

Anyone with information, video or any witnesses are urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit an online report at crimestoppersvic.com.au.
