Police are appealing for witnesses to an incident where two men were attacked in Ramsgate after trying to stop a group from stealing a man’s bike.
It was reported that between 7pm and 8pm on Monday, July 19 a row broke out when the two victims tried to stop the bike being taken from a man in Harbour Parade on the pedestrian area opposite Kent Place.
One victim, a man in his 30s, was reportedly attacked with a bottle, while the other, aged in his 20s, was knocked to the ground and stamped on.
Witnesses, including a group of motorcyclists, then intervened and the suspects were seen to leave in the direction of a slip onto the beach, in the direction of Marina Esplanade.
Both victims were taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Officers would like to speak to the cyclist who was able to leave the area on his bicycle without further issue.
