Police have released CCTV footage of two men they would like to trace in connection with an attack on a man on his doorstep with a stun gun.

The force would like to talk to two men described as black, of slim build and in their late 20s, after a 40-year-old man was assaulted at his home in Ventnor Avenue, Stanmore on June 15.

According to police, after opening his door following a knock, two unknown men assaulted the victim with a stun gun.

Subsequently the victim fell to the floor and was repeatedly punched and kicked by the suspects.

The victim's mother was assaulted by the suspects after going to the door to find out what was happening before they fled the scene.

They were last seen running towards Weston Drive.
