Detectives have released images of a man they believe may assist enquiries after a victim suffered a serious ankle injury in an alleged attack on Mount Pleasant Road in the early hours of 17 October 2026.

Kent Police want to hear from anyone who recognises a man pictured in CCTV stills following a reported assault in Tunbridge Wells — an attack in which a man was allegedly thrown to the ground and stamped on his leg.

It happened at about 3am on Mount Pleasant Road. The victim and a friend were approached by three unknown men after a brief verbal exchange. One of them allegedly threw the victim to the floor and stamped on his leg. The group then walked off towards Church Road, leaving the victim to make his way to hospital with what police described as a serious ankle injury.

Detectives reviewed available CCTV before publishing the appeal at 13:40 on 6 November 2026.

Anyone with private CCTV or dashcam footage from the area around that time is asked to check their recordings. Contact the west Kent appeals line on 01622 604100, quoting reference 46/173966/26.
