A MAN dressed up as a zombie was attacked in Weymouth town centre.

The man, who had fake blood on him, suffered ‘nasty’ injuries, police said.

The 36-year-old Weymouth man was found injured outside a hotel in East Street just after 2am on Sunday.

The victim was left with a fracture to his cheek among other head injuries after leaving the Babylon Bar.

Police said he was wearing a zombie fancy dress outfit – ripped jeans, ripped white shirt and had fake blood on him.

PC John Kirk, of Weymouth police, said: “The victim has suffered some nasty injuries in this incident which required hospital treatment.

“The assault occurred somewhere between East Street and St Alban Street in the early hours of Sunday morning and I believe there may be witnesses.

“I am keen to speak with anyone who may have seen this assault take place or has any information about the incident to contact Dorset Police.”
