A MAN was punched and kicked in the head by two attackers who had jumped out of their car.

The attack happened as the victim walked along Woodford Avenue in Clayhall, at the junction with Beechwood Gardens, at about 9.35pm on Wednesday, December 12.

A red car pulled up, and two people got out asking for directions. Then without warning, the victim was punched several times in the face, causing him to fall to the ground. He was then kicked in the head before his attackers left.

Both of the attackers are black. One man has been described as about 35 years old, 5ft 5ins tall, with short black hair.

The other was about 6ft tall, thin, with short black hair. Any witnesses should call Redbridge police on 8553 2336.
