Westland Street where the man was attacked.
A man had to receive hospital treatment after he was bitten when attacked by a gang in Derry last night.
The incident occurred as the man was walking along Westland Street in the Bogside at around 10.00pm.
The victim required medical treatment for a bite mark to his chest as well as cuts to his face and head.
One of the attackers is described as being around 6′ tall, in his late teens or early 20s, of thin build with short dirty fair hair.
A PSNI spokesperson asked anyone who witnessed the assault or who has any information to contact police at Strand Road on the non emergency 101 telephone number.
