Search for suspect after serious assault in Plymouth
Police say a man has been taken to hospital after being found injured in the city's West Hoe area.

Police in Plymouth say they are searching for a suspect following a "serious assault" in the West Hoe area of the city.

Devon and Cornwall Police said its officers were called at 20:55 GMT on Wednesday evening after a person was found seriously injured on West Hoe Road. They were treated by paramedics at the scene before being taken to Derriford Hospital.

The victim and their assailant are believed to know each other, the force added.

Detectives are appealing for anyone with information to contact them.

Det Ch Insp Dave Pebworth said there is a large police presence in the area and enquiries are continuing with officers carrying out a search for the suspect.

"We believe this is an isolated incident and there is no immediate threat to the wider public," Mr Pebworth said in a statement.

"We would ask members of the public to please stay away from the West Hoe area of the city while we continue our investigation," he added.
