Police are looking for a good Samaritan who stopped his car to interrupt an alleged assault on a key Ashford street.

Officers were called to the junction of Chart Road and Repton Manor Road following reports of a disturbance between a man and a woman on Sunday, October 21, between 8pm and 8.30pm.

A passer-by intervened in order to help the woman, who was in distress after suffering an injury to her face.
