POLICE have issued pictures of a group of men who were involved in a serious assault at East Tilbury station which left the victim with a fractured skull.

On Wednesday 12 August between 4.40pm and 5.40pm, a group of men followed the victim through the station.

One of the men then brandished what is believed to be a hammer and struck the victim. The victim managed to run away from the group, but suffered a fractured skull from the unprovoked attack.

Officers believe the men in the CCTV images may have information which could assist their investigation.
