A young woman suffered facial injuries after she was assaulted on a night out in Rochester.

The student was reportedly thrown headfirst into a shop window as she tried to calm a confrontation between her boyfriend and three men.

It is reported the men - who were unknown to the couple - had started to punch and kick her partner when she stepped in to help.

The woman is then said to have been swung around by her hair and thrown into the window, causing a nasty cut above her eye.

Police were called but the three men had fled the scene by the time officers arrived.

The woman was taken to hospital for treatment.

Her attacker is described as 6ft tall, white and in his mid-20s.

He was wearing a blue and white striped t-shirt, which was ripped.

Anyone with information should call police on 101
