A WOMAN is still seriously ill in hospital after a ‘brutal street assault’.
The attack happened between 9am and 4pm on Tuesday, May 29 between the Pall Mall area and the Liptrott estate in Chorley.
A 34-year-old woman suffered serious internal injuries and is being treated in hospital where she remains in a serious but stable condition.
Inspector Jo Keay, from Chorley police, said: “This was a sustained and brutal attack which occurred during daylight hours and as a result could possibly have been witnessed by passing pedestrians or motorists.
