A teenage girl suffered cuts and grazes to her face after being assaulted by three people in South Ashford.

The 17-year-old victim was walking along Noakes Meadow, Ashford, at around 11.30pm on Wednesday, December 26.

When she approached the junction with Allenfield a black vehicle, possibly with silver tinted windows, pulled up next to her and the male driver got out and began talking to her.

She was punched in the face before a second man got out of the vehicle and headbutted her.

One of them then kicked her in the torso before a woman got out of the car and slapped her.

All three offenders got back into the vehicle and drove off in the direction of Oak Tree Road.

The victim went to the William Harvey Hospital for treatment to cuts and grazes to her face.

The first attacker is described as Afro Caribbean, aged in his late 20s, approximately 6ft tall, of stocky build, with a shaved head, and of muscular build. He had a gold tooth and was wearing a black hoody, blue jeans and black trainers.

The second man is described as white, aged in his late 20s, 5ft 10ins tall, and of medium build. He was wearing a black tracksuit with the hood up and black and white trainers.

The female offender is described as white, aged 22, with straight black hair and of heavy build. She had a piercing in her left cheek and was wearing white high heels and a black dress.

Anyone with information about the assault is asked to call PC Andrew Dale on 101 quoting crime reference number ZY/036692/12.
