A man suffered serious head injuries after being attacked with a hammer as he walked home.

The 28-year-old was hit on the side of the head in Edgar Road, Cliftonville, between 10.15pm and 10.40pm on Thursday, June 5. He reached the nearby Druids Centre where members of the public helped him and called an ambulance.

He was taken to the QEQM hospital in Margate before being transferred to a London hospital with what is believed to be a fractured skull.

Kent Police are looking for two men in connection with the assault. They are both described as white, in their 30s, one slim and one stocky and both with Scottish accents. The man with the larger build swung out with the hammer.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact detectives at Margate police station on 01843 231055 or Kent Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
