Kent police have issued pictures of two people they are looking to identify after a violent assault on the streets of High Brooms.

The incident happened around 7pm on 19th September and left a victim suffering serious head injuries.

It’s reported a group of males followed the victim as he left the Brick Works pub and walked along Powder Mill Lane, at the junction with Wilman Road.

He was then punched in the head and fell to the floor, where he was kicked and possibly cut with a sharp object.

Since the incident, officers have been carrying out multiple enquiries, including an extensive review of potential footage from CCTV and doorbell cameras, as well as the identification of several witnesses.

The investigation has also led to the emergence of phone footage which shows some of the clothing, as well as bags, worn by two people who police would like to speak to.

If you have information which may assist the investigation, call Kent Police on 01622 604100, quoting reference 46/163767/25.

If you prefer to remain anonymous contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 or by using the online form.
