Two more arrests have been made after a man in his underwear was dragged from his flat in a brutal gang attack.
Dramatic footage taken of the incident earlier this month showed the victim being pulled into Herne Bay High Street and dragged to the ground.
The brutal attack left onlookers shocked
Crowds - including young children in tears - looked on in horror as the man, who was wearing only his pants, tried to protect himself from the flurry of blows.
It is understood one of the attackers suffered a stab wound as the violence erupted at about 1pm on Monday, August 5, sparking an armed police response.
Witnesses told how the three men kicked at the flat's door - between Miles & Barr and The Gold Exchange - as a man shouted from a top window and hurled glass to the ground.
When the door eventually buckled, a man was pulled out into the street and struck a number of times by his attackers.
The brutal assault only ended when estate agents stepped in and the three men fled - two on mountain bikes and the other on foot.
Emergency crews - including firearms officers - were sent to the scene.
A 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of affray and taken to hospital with a stab wound.
He was released from hospital and bailed until August 29. He has since been re-bailed until November 5.
A 17-year-old boy, also from Herne Bay, was arrested on suspicion of assault after attending a police station at about 4.40pm. He was later released without charge.
It has since emerged that two more men from Herne Bay were arrested in connection with the incident on August 7.
A 22-year-old was detained on suspicion of affray and assault, along with a 23-year-old suspected of affray.
They have been released on bail until November 10.
