Man Brutally Attacked in Epsom’s Early Hours
Police are hunting witnesses after a vicious assault rocked Epsom at 3.20am last Sunday (9 June).
Altercation Sparks Violent Attack
The victim, a man in his 20s, and his friend were walking near High Street’s Clocktower Cars after leaving Fever and Boutique Nightclub. They were carrying a memorable inflatable microphone when a group of six or seven young men, all wearing black Nike hoodies, approached.
One of the group threw water on the victim’s friend, triggering a heated confrontation. The victim stepped in to help but was shoved to the ground, then stamped and kicked repeatedly. Thankfully, three passers-by intervened and stopped the assault.
Suspects Flee on Foot
The attackers, described as six or seven white males plus one black male aged 16-20, all in black hoodies, fled on foot towards Station Approach.
The victim suffered serious injuries, including a broken arm, but is now recovering after hospital treatment. His friend also had minor injuries but has been discharged.
Police Urge Anyone With Info to Speak Up
Detective Sergeant Kerry Akehurst said: “This was a violent assault in a public place. We believe there were witnesses who might recall what happened, especially as the victim and his friend had an inflatable microphone, making them stand out. If you were near the nightclub or on High Street, or have dashcam footage, please contact us.”
