A taxi driver has been attacked, leaving him with black eyes and a broken nose.

The 46-year-old was attacked in Perry Street, Northfleet outside the Crown pub on Friday night between 10:30pm – 10:50pm.

Two men jumped into the front passenger seat of his taxi where one head-butted him and then placed his hands round his neck trying to throttle him, and the other punched him.

The victim suffered a fractured nose, bruising to his neck and two black eyes.

The offenders are described as white, in their early to mid-20s.

One was of medium build and had shaved brown hair and spoke with a London accent. He was wearing a light-coloured, short-sleeved T-shirt and had tattoos on his arms.

Police are interested in speaking to a couple who had been standing outside Phoenix Taxis who may have seen the assault and spoke to the driver afterwards.

They are also keen to speak with another man who was on his own who also spoke to the driver after the assault, and a bus driver who may have been parked on the other side of the road to where the attack took place.
