Police have launched an appeal for witnesses and information after a woman was assaulted as she got into a taxi on Carlton Hill.
The victim, aged in her 50s, was attacked shortly after leaving a local pub at around 9.20pm on Easter Sunday.
She was later treated in hospital for serious facial injuries, believed to have been caused by a glass.
Detectives are working to understand exactly what happened in the moments leading up to the assault and are asking for additional witnesses to come forward.
Detective Constable Gemma Piggott said: “This was a very serious assault that left a woman with significant injuries to her face.
“We have already analysed a large amount of CCTV footage and have spoken to multiple witnesses, but are now making a public appeal for others to come forward.
“We are particularly keen to hear from any drivers who my have passed a blue taxi as it picked up passengers near to the junctions with First and Second avenue.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting incident 621 of 20 April 2025.
Hope she makes a full recovery. Awful.
