Detectives have released an e-fit after a man was viciously assaulted in Sevenoaks.

The victim was making his way to his car in Hillingdon avenue on Saturday, June 11 at about 6.45am when he was approached by two men, one of whom asked if he had a lighter.

They then are reported to have noxious substance into the victim’s face before then repeatedly punching and kicking him to the head and body.

The two men are reported to have fled the scene when they were disturbed by residents living in the road. The victim suffered swelling to his eyes well as cuts and bruises.

Officers investigating the incident have conducted house to house enquiries and are continuing to review any potential CCTV opportunities.

The victim has now also been able to assist police in producing an e-fit image of one of the suspects.

He is described as being white, around 6ft 3in tall and of stocky build. He is believed to be aged in 30s or 40s, with light blond receding hair and was wearing a blue Lonsdale hooded top and a gold chain.

The second man was described as white and around 5ft 10ins tall, wearing a navy hooded top, which was zipped up.
