A man needed stitches after reportedly being punched in the face in an unprovoked attack.

The victim was walking along Week Street, in Maidstone, when a group of men approached him who he did not know.

One of the members is then said to have punched the man, who is in his 30s, in the face and caused a cut that required stitches.

The incident happened at around 4.35am on Sunday, November 19, in the town centre.

Police officers have now released a CCTV image almost two months later of a man they believe may be able to assist with their investigation.

They would like to hear from anyone who recognises him, along with anyone else who may have witnessed the incident.
