A man was left shirtless and with serious injuries after being attacked for his clothes.
Police are appealing for witnesses after the victim was robbed on a bridge over the railway in Ashford.
The man in his 30s was left with serious facial injuries after first being approached by three men between midnight and 1am yesterday.
They attacked him on a bridge between Sackville Crescent and Carlton Road, stealing the two jackets and T-shirt he was wearing and leaving him requiring hospital treatment.
Officers say that the victim was wearing a beige jacket on the outside, making it the most recognisable out of the clothes stolen.
They are asking anyone who was in the area at the time of the robbery and saw anything or has dashcam footage that might help their inquiries to come forward.
Witnesses should call police on 01843 222289 quoting 46/229961/21.
