Police are appealing for witnesses to an assault on a man at V Festival, Chelmsford on the last day of the festival.
The incident took place between 4pm and 8pm on Sunday 23rd August in the Arena Stage tent. A 50-year-old from Chelmsford was punched in the face after asking a man to stop bothering a group of girls. When the victim fell to the floor the suspect jumped on the man’s left leg, breaking it in two places.
The suspect is described as a man in his 30s of large build with short brown hair and a tanned complexion.
wristband4festivals would like to point out that this sort of assault at festivals occurs rarely, and hopes the scumbag who perpetrated the attack is caught. If anyone witnessed this assault, or has any information about the assault, they are asked to call Chelmsford CID on 0300 333 4444 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

wristband4festivals went along to Weston Park on Sunday to find out just why V continues to be so popular despite accusations of heavy handed security, commercialised music and hefty ticket prices.
V Festival is known for it’s eclectic line-up and this year provides the best of recent years. Of the six stages there’s plenty to cater to any musical pallet.
So here at wristband4festivals we occasionally like a bit of a laugh, and in our quest to find some funny festival video’s, we came across this creation from David Firth.
