On Tuesday we revealed the ordeal of York man Kieran Skelton.
Kieran had been attacked at the end of a night out on Sunday (December 10).
He was near the Duncombe Place taxi rank next to York Minster at about 3.50am and the next thing he knew he woke up in a pool of blood.
Twenty-two year old Kieran was taken to hospital having suffered a broken nose and concussion.
