A pedestrian’s jaw was broken in an unprovoked attack by two men in the Black Country.
The 35-year-old victim was walking along Upper Church Lane, Tipton, on December 15 when the pair walked passed him, before turning and punching him in the face.
The attackers then ran off along the street and got into a white Ford Transit van with a 51 or 52 registration plate.
PC James Finnegan, from the violent crime team of West Midlands Police CID, said: “This was a vicious and unprovoked attack on a lone man in broad daylight.
“As a result, this man suffered a broken jaw in two places and needed surgery.
“We want to hear from anyone who knows these two men or who has information to help us with this investigation.”
The first offender was described as an Asian man, in his mid 20s to mid 30s.
He was stocky with black brushed back hair and was around 5ft 8in to 6ft tall.
He was described as having very large hands and wore a dark green short sleeved T-shirt and blue jeans.
The second man was also Asian, of the same age and of medium build.
He had short black hair, was around 5ft 4in tall and wore a dark blue hooded tracksuit.
