In a BBC article, a police spokeswoman is quoted as saying, "This is a serious appeal for information after a man was left in need of hospital treatment following a violent assault.

"Whatever the map may have resembled should not distract from the severity of the crime and our request for help from the public."

Quite right. To that end, the 26-year-old victim remains in critical but stable condition, and a 27-year-old woman and a 30-year-old man have been arrested and subsequently released on bail pending further inquiries.
