Dear Resident,

We are appealing for witnesses to an incident of grievous bodily harm in Milton Keynes.
 

Between 9pm and 9.30pm on Saturday (24/5), the victim, a man in his teens, was near to the smoking area at the Sidewinder festival at MK Arena in the MK Dons Stadium when he was seriously assaulted by an unknown man. He sustained serious injuries to his cheek bone and eye socket, which required hospital treatment.
 

A second person sustained minor injuries to their face which also required hospital treatment. Both have since been discharged.
 

Two mobile phones were stolen in the incident.
