A YOUNG man had his jaw broken in an attack in Newbury on Sunday.

The 23 year-old was standing outside the Slug and Lettuce on Market place between 3am and 4.40am on Sunday 15 when two men approached him.

One punched the victim who fell to the floor.

The two men then kicked him in the face as he lay on the ground before fleeing towards The Wharf.

Now police are looking for the attackers as the victim receives treatment for a broken jaw in John Radcliffe Hospital.

Investigating officer, Detective Sergeant Gareth Perry, said: "We need the public's help to trace the two offenders.

"One of the offenders is white, in his late teens or early twenties, about 5ft 8ins to 5ft 9ins, very slim with short spiky dark hair and no facial hair. He was wearing thin glasses.  There is no description of the other man at this time.
