    A woman was left lying in the road after a man hit her over the head with a bottle in Bolton.

    Police are now appealing for witnesses to the incident which occurred sometime between 4.30am and 4.45am on Sunday 4 February when a woman was outside the Food Factory on Bradshawgate.

    The 20-year-old was holding a bottle of alcohol when a man approached her and tried to pull the bottle out of her hands.
