A 22-YEAR-OLD man remains on a life support machine following an assault outside a cinema on Saturday night (October 31).

The man was found outside the Empire cinema in High Street, Bromley, at around 11.40pm by patrolling PCSOs.

He was suffering from head injuries and paramedics took him to the Princess Royal University Hospital in Farnborough.

Bromley police described his injuries as life-threatening yesterday (November 1) and this morning he was still in a critical condition.

Bromley CID are now appealing for witnesses following the Halloween assault.

Detective Inspector Jane Corrigan said the victim had spent the evening drinking at the Swan and Mitre pub.

She added: "We are particularly keen on speaking to a man and a woman we understand were assaulted in this pub prior to our victim leaving.

"These two people we believe are significant witnesses and would urge them to contact us.

"We are also keen to hear from anyone that was in or around the town centre of Saturday night that may have seen our victim or the actual assault."

Market Square and High Street - from the junction of East Street through to Beckenham Lane - was behind a police cordon for much of yesterday (November 1) but the police tape has now been taken down.

Any witnesses or anyone with any information should call Bromley CID on 020 8284 8754 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

- Two men aged 24 have been arrested in connection with the attack, along with two other men aged 19 and 36. They all remain in police custody.
