An 18-year-old man who allegedly assaulted someone in Buxton has been charged with the offence.

At around 12.40pm on Monday, September 26, a 20-year-old man was walking along Fairfield Road in Buxton with his shopping when he was approached by two other men close to the traffic lights.

A verbal altercation is believed to have taken place before one of the men allegedly began punching the victim repeatedly in his head and body.
