A man was slashed in the face by a motorbike rider in a park.
The victim was walking through Gillingham Park, Gillingham, between 7.30pm and 8.30pm, when an off-road bike drove through the park and nearly collided with him.
One of the two riders then reportedly approached the victim and assaulted him with a knife, slashing his face and arm.
The offender then jumped back on to the bike and the pair fled the scene, which was in the park near to the junction of Brasenose Road and Oxford Road.
Following the incident, which happened on July 19, the victim - in his 30s - called an ambulance and was taken to a local hospital to be treated for his injuries and was later discharged.
Police officers have carried out several enquiries and are now appealing for anyone with information.
A spokesman said: "The suspect has been described as around 6ft, of slim build and with mousey blonde short hair.
"He was reported to be wearing a khaki coloured tracksuit which had a darker coloured strip across the chest and back of the leg, along with black trainers.
"The suspect was also wearing a black bag and black trainers.
"The person driving the bike is described as medium build, around 5ft 8ins, with brown hair and wearing a black hooded jacket and grey jogging bottoms."
Both suspects are described as white men aged in their 30s and the colour of the bike is described as green, black and white.
