Detectives investigating an assault where a man was punched
in the face, knocked to the ground and punched again, are appealing
for witnesses to come forward.
The incident happened on Rochester High Street, early on
Sunday, January 22, at the Star Hill end near to the Wetherspoons
pub.
Officers on patrol arrested two men at the scene at about
3.20am, but say they need help from witnesses to establish exactly
what happened.
It is alleged one suspect punched a 20-year-old man who fell to
the ground and was punch several more times, receiving bruising to
his face.
DC Mark Silk who is investigating said: "It is very likely that
other people would have been on the High Street at the time the
incident took place and I would urge anyone who witnessed the
incident to contact us.
"We are particularly keen to hear from a couple, a man and a
woman, who we believe witnessed the assault take place.
"They may have information which would assist with our
investigation."
A 20-year-old from Rochester has been arrested on suspicion of
causing actual bodily harm and has been bailed pending further
enquiries until March 24.
Another man, 18, also from Rochester, has been arrested on
suspicion of causing affray and has been bailed until February
