A STUDENT was chased through Lancaster and beaten up after intervening in a fight between two men.

The 24-year-old had tried to break up a fight between two men in Revolution in Lancaster last Saturday.

Later, as he was walking up Greaves Road four men followed him in a car.

Three men jumped out and chased him up the road and onto Greaves Drive, where the student tried to hide in a driveway.

The three men jumped him and he suffered face injuries. He was later treated at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary.

One man was in his twenties with blonde hair and a crew cut. Another was six-feet with a blue top with beige stripes.
