A man was left with a cracked rib and a bruised eye after a racially motivated attack in a town centre.

The 38-year-old was set upon as he walked with a friend along Week Street, Maidstone, at around 2.30am on Saturday, October 4.

A group of two or three Eastern European men passed the pair and made a racist comment in Polish.

The victim challenged this and was then attacked by at least two of the men who punched him in the face and kicked him while he was on the ground.

Anyone who may have information regarding the incident is asked to contact PC Reynolds at Maidstone police on 01622 604271 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
