BMX rider comes to help of Warwick attack victim

The pair punched a man as he was walking along Coten End towards Leamington at around 1am on Sunday October 28.

The victim, who is in his 40s, was approaching the pedestrian crossing outside the Millwright Arms pub when he was approached by a man, who punched him in the face.
