POLICE are appealing for information after a man was assaulted on a night out in Dartford.

The 36-year-old was attacked in Spital Street near to Crush Bar at around 2.30am on March 12.

He was left with fractures to his face, which have since required surgery.

PC Deborah Cummings, who is in charge of the investigation, said: “This was a nasty attack which has had a devastating effect on the victim.

“The town centre would have been busy at this time of night and it is possible that others may have seen what happened but have not yet come forward with the information they have.

“I would ask that they do so, as soon as possible, to help us find and prosecute the person responsible.”

Anyone with information should call north Kent police on 01474 366098 or crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
