A MAN walking home at night was attacked by a group of men leaving him with a serious eye injury.

The 27-year-old man was walking home on his own after visiting friends when he was attacked by two or three men in a wooded area between the Butlins Resort and Hotham Park just after midnight on Saturday. 

He was punched in the face and kicked several times, and was treated at St Richards Hospital in Chichester for a serious eye injury, cuts and bruises. 

Police are appealing for witnesses to attack. 

Detective constable Paul Gilmour said: "This was an unprovoked and vicious attack, which has left the victim with a serious injury requiring yet further treatment.
