Detectives have stepped up their investigation into a massive pub brawl that left three men in hospital.

A fight involving more than 10 people broke out after a man was punched in the Seven Stars in Orange Street, Canterbury, earlier this month.

A window at the city centre premises was also damaged during the ruckus, as officers arrived at the scene.

Three men were treated for their injuries that evening, and now investigators have launched an appeal to track down the instigator.

A police spokesman said: "The suspect who carried out the first assault is described as a man of mixed race ethnicity, 5ft 10ins tall with short dark hair.

"He was believed to be wearing a long dark coat.

"We would like to appeal for those who saw the incident and didn’t speak to an officer at the scene, to come forward."

Anyone who witnessed the fight, which took place at about 5.30pm on December 7, should call police on 01843 222289, quoting the reference number 46/252547/21.
