POLICE have still not named a 23-year-old man injured in an attack outside a North-East pub at the weekend.

He was assaulted in Collingwood Street, Coundon, County Durham, late on Saturday night, near to where 37-year-old former Newcastle United footballer Gary Walton was found dead in a pub garden two weeks ago.

The latest victim was taken to Darlington Memorial Hospital suffering from head injuries.

He was recovering yesterday but was experiencing memory loss.

A man arrested following the incident was released on bail on Sunday.

Witnesses to the attack should contact Bishop Auckland CID on (01388) 603566
