TWO students suffered facial injuries when they were attacked by two teenagers as they walked along a riverside path.

The victims, aged 19 and 20, were on a pathway between the Kingsmead Leisure Centre and Canterbury city centre when the assault took place.

As they walked past a group of boys near the footbridge the group began shouting abuse and following them. Two of the boys then started punching and head-butting the students.

Police are looking for the boys, who were both aged around 15.

One of them was wearing a ski-type jacket with blue, light blue and black patches and a black hood. The other was wearing a beige hat.

Kent Police say the incident happened at around 8pm last Friday.

Anyone with information is asked to contact PC Stuart Rogers on 01227 868263.
