A man was left with broken jaw after an assault while on a night out with friends.

The 20-year-old victim, from Crawley, was assaulted at about midnight on September 27 in High Street, close to Brewery Shades.

He did not see how he was assaulted but had to be taken to hospital after suffering a broken jaw in the incident.

Detective Sergeant Dan Gower said: "High Street was very busy at the time of the incident so there may be lots of witnesses who saw what happened but left the scene before the emergency services arrived.

"We need to speak to anyone who saw the victim being struck or who knows who was involved."
