A thug pushed a food delivery worker down a flight of concrete steps with such force he suffered multiple injuries.

The victim, aged in his 60s, was dropping off a takeaway in Diana Gardens, Deal, on Saturday at about 7.20pm when the drama unfolded.

He was pushed down more than a dozen concrete steps, and was taken to a local hospital with multiple injuries to his head and back, police say.

Officers have arrested a man on suspicion of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

He has since been released on bail until May 11.
