DETECTIVES who have been investigating an assault on a man and woman in Grays last month are hoping that the suspect description may be recognised by someone and they will give police a name.
In the early hours of July 28 a man and woman, who had been out for the night, were walking along London Road West Thurrock, opposite the DAF Trucks site when a black man became involved in a fight with them. They received assault injuries, the 26 year old man from Ockendon had a small cut to his hand and bruising but declined they treatment from Ambulance crews and went home.
The woman, aged 20 from Grays, had been struck with a brick on the head and later became unwell and was treated in hospital for a bleed on the brain.
Police enquiries have not been able to identify the suspect. He is described as 5ft 7 ins tall, slim build, short afro style hair, shaved on the sides and bigger on top and with a well kept bushy beard. He was wearing dark jeans ad blue jumper with cream swirls and a black leather belt with a square belt buckle, which he used during the assault.
Anyone who can identify the man responsible is urged to contact Dc Nicola Hadfield at Grays CID on 101.
