Police are appealing for witnesses after a brutal, unprovoked attack on a man, which left him with a broken eye socket.

The victim tried to get inside the Joiners Arms pub, in Ballards Lane, Finchley, but because it was 11.20pm and after closing time, he was turned away. He started to get back into his car when two men dragged him onto the street, and launched a vicious attack on him, kicking him while he lay on the floor.

The incident happened on September 16.

Two suspects have been arrested, and will take part in an identification line-up at the end of the month, but police are still appealing for anyone who might have witnessed the incident to come forward.
