TWO men were taken to hospital after two separate assaults at the same spot in just over 24 hours.

The attacks took place on Cleveland Road, Cowley, last week, but police maintain they are not linked.

The first took place on Tuesday at 4am, and a man was taken to hospital by paramedics.

A 21 year old man was arrested and issued with a fixed penalty notice for anti-social behaviour but no further action was brought because it was believed the victim made no allegation of assault.

The second attack happened at busy rush hour at 5.45pm where paramedics discovered 19 year old man unconscious suffering from head injuries.

He was taken to hospital, given treatment and later released.

Two teenagers aged 18 and 17 have been arrested in connection with the incident and bailed pending further investigation.

The attacks have concerned those living in the area, and those involved with the Cowley Community Association have met with Brunel University's pro-vice chancellor to discuss the escalation in violence.
