DC Zack Oxley said: “The victim in this incident has sustained some really serious injuries to his eye – with the potential that he could lose a significant amount of vision in his eye.
“I would urge anyone with any information about the incident – or if you recognise the description of the two men involved – to get in touch with the force in confidence using the below methods.
“While this is believed to be an isolated incident extra patrols are being put in place in and around the Memorial Gardens area.”
