A BURNLEY couple were rushed to hospital after being savagely attacked on their doorstep.
Police are appealing for witnesses after the couple were assaulted by a gang of yobs with a large piece of wood at their Lyndhurst Road home about 3 a.m. on Saturday.
The man was smashed around the head with the wood, kocking him unconscious, and the woman suffered bruising to her arm after they were set upon after arriving home following a night out. Both were taken to Royal Blackburn Hospital.
The group of about 12 youths are described as being a mix of boys and girls, mainly boys, all white and aged 14 to 17.
It is believed one of the girls involved has shoulder length, blonde hair and was wearing a pink and black top.
One of the boys has been described as being 5ft. 7in. tall, about 15 years old, with short dark hair. He was wearing a white or light coloured T-shirt and dark-coloured bottoms.
Anyone with any information is urged to contact Burnley CID on 01282 472144 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
