Officers are appealing for information after a man was assaulted in Canterbury.

Kent Police was called at 1.26am on Tuesday 29 December 2020 following a report that a motorist had been injured in Sturry Road.

It was reported that the victim had been sitting in a silver VW Polo opposite the junction with Honeywood Close when his vehicle was approached by a group of six people.
