Police seek Good Samaritan who intervened when man was punched and kicked by gang in Central Milton Keynes

At around 11pm on Saturday 25 July, a man was talking to a friend on North Ninth Street when he was approached by a group of four men.

The men started to punch and kick him.

Police say a member of the public called at the group for them to stop, after which the attackers ran off in the direction of the shopping centre.

The victim sustained cuts and bruising to his head.

One of the offenders is described as a large white man, around 30 years-old and approximately 5ft 10ins tall. He had short dark hair and was wearing a dark blue tracksuit with dark blue trainers.

A second member of the group is described as a stocky white man, between 30 to 40-years-old and approximate 5ft 10ins tall. He had slicked back dark hair and was wearing a light coloured tracksuit.
