A man was dragged down a Telford street by a passing car after he was attacked by a gang, police said today.
The 20-year-old was first involved in an argument with up to six men in Station Road, Wellington, before he was attacked.
The gang punched and kicked him before he managed to flee. The gang chased the victim towards Whitchurch Road, where he tripped and was clipped by a passing car.
The car dragged him further down the road, leaving him with more injuries.
The attack happened between 11pm on Thursday and 12.50am on Friday but details were only released today.
Chris Ammonds, Telford police spokesman, said: “This is an unusual incident in terms of how long it went on for and we are keen to establish exactly what happened.
“The victim suffered a number of injuries as a result of this incident including cuts and bruises to his head and face, a split lip, grazes to his chest and elbows and also cuts to his hands.
“We are keen to speak to anyone who may have witnessed any part of this incident.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Telford police on 0300 333 3000.
