Police have launched an appeal in relation to a racially motivated assault in South Woodford.

Officers are trying to find three men in connection with an attack on a group of mainly British Indian friends and family.

Just after 2am on November 9 a group of people attacked the group outside The Slug and Lettuce bar in George Lane.

In what police are describing as a serious racially motivated assault, a 39-year-old was attacked and punched to the ground where he lost consciousness, and a 24-year-old was repeatedly kicked, suffering a fractured arm and nose and a black eye.

Three men are wanted in connection with the incident.

The first suspect is described as white with long blond hair, aged around 25 years. The second and third are also described as being in their mid-20s.

Police say a group of men were seen damaging a car and turned on its owner when they were challenged.

The suspects escaped to South Woodford Tube station as the victims lay on the floor.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Ilford police on 101 quoting CRIS 4421409/13.
