A disabled man with cerebral palsy was allegedly attacked by a group of three men after a night out.

Relatives say the attack happened under the railway bridge in Wincheap, just outside Canterbury city centre, in the early hours of this morning.

The victim, who is said to need crutches, had been on a night out at a nearby club before the incident happened.

He suffered injuries to his ribs and spine in the attack.

He was taken to hospital, and his family say the police were called.

In a message on Facebook, one of the victim's relatives said: "If anyone knows who these three men are, pass a message onto them please.

"Let them know they are cowardly ***** for jumping a bloke with cerebral palsy, they knew he was disabled as he was on crutches and had previously mocked him during Friday evening."
