    Police are appealing for information after a man suffered serious injuries to his face and hand in an assault outside a takeaway restaurant in Cleckheaton.

    The assault happened outside the Spicy Delight takeaway in Bradford Road between 10.30pm and 11.30pm on Saturday, 16 April. The 48-year-old victim required hospital treatment for injuries to his face and potentially life-changing injuries to one of his hands.
