    Police investigating an incident where a man was hit with a baseball bat as he tried to stop a fight in Keighley have appealed for witnesses to come forward.

    As he attempted to stop the fight he was struck on the head, causing swelling and concussion which needed hospital treatment.

    PC Sam Newnham, of Keighley Police, who is investigating the incident, said:

    "We are particularly keen to speak to the woman who called for an ambulance, as well as any of the four people who stopped to help the victim as they may have vital information about the people who were involved.

    "The victim suffered head injuries in this attack which may prove to be life changing, so it is important that we find out and take action against those responsible."
