Officers are investigating an assault which took place outside a fast-food chicken shop in Southall.

Police are appealing for witnesses who may have information on what happened in The Green at around 1.20am on May 3.

A large group of men and women, who had gathered outside a chicken shop, allegedly assaulted two men, aged 32 and 42, who were in the area at the time, in what appears to be an unprovoked attack.

London Ambulance Service attended and treated the victims at the scene before taking the 32-year-old man to a north-west London hospital with facial injuries.

The 42-year-old man was taken to a west London hospital with an injury to the back of his head. Both victims were later discharged.

The suspects are described as black men and women, aged between 20 and 25-years-old.

Police in Ealing are asking anyone who was in the area at the time who witnessed the attack to call 101. Alternatively if you wish to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
