Police in Bridgwater are looking to speak with two men, in connection with a racially-aggravated assault, which left a man with a fractured jaw.

It's believed the attack, which happened last April, was unprovoked.

Avon and Somerset Police have now shared images of two men they wish to identify in connection with our ongoing investigation into the assault that happened in Penel Orlieu at about 10pm on Saturday 16 April last year.

Trainee Detective Constable Charlie Glide, said: “Over the past 10 months we have successfully identified a number of people as part of our enquiries through previous public appeals and this has led to six people attending a voluntary police interview.

“We are hoping the local community can help us again as we issue photos of two so far unknown men who we are keen to identify to further progress this investigation.”

“We’re grateful to everyone who has provided information so far, but are also keen to hear from a potential witness who we’ve yet to trace. "

Anyone who recognises the men pictured, or witnessed the assault, is asked to call 101 and give reference number 5222095441.
