Inspector Richard Sullivan, of the Pontefract and Knottingley Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “This was a nasty, unprovoked assault which has left a young woman with a fractured jaw. I would urge anyone who was out in Pontefract that night and either witnessed this assault or may have information about the man responsible to call 101.”
