A MAN had to undergo plastic surgery after being attacked outside a Worcestershire gym.

He had just left The Turks Head pub in Bromsgrove with his girlfriend when he was "viciously" assaulted by two men outside Altered Images, in Worcester Road, at around 6.30pm on Sunday, December 16.

The men repeatedly punched him before kicking him in the face as he lay on the ground. They are then believed to have run back towards the pub.

The first attacker is described as white, with floppy hair, and wearing a waist-length black leather jacket, while the second is described as white, in his mid-20s, with short-cropped ginger hair and wearing jeans.

The motive for the attack is not known.

The victim, who suffered a fractured jaw and cuts and bruises to his face, was taken to the Alexandra Hospital, Redditch, and transferred to Selly Oak Hospital for surgery to his lip.

PC Ian Cole, who is investigating the incident, described it as a very nasty and vicious attack.

"We need to hear from people who were in the pub before the incident, as something may have happened there prior to the attack," he said.

"We're also keen to speak to anyone who saw the offenders run off and which direction they went in."
