Witnesses sought to Gillingham assault

Investigators are appealing for witnesses after a man suffered a serious facial injury in Gillingham.

The suspect is described as a slim white man, around 18 years old, and thought to be 5ft 7in. He had light brown hair and was clean shaven. He was wearing a grey dressing gown, and grey jogging bottoms with long white socks pulled up over them. He was seen travelling on a black e-scooter beforehand.
