A couple were "viciously" attacked after challenging a man who was urinating in a north London street.

Police are appealing for information about the "needless" assault. The 43-year-old man suffered a bleed on the brain, a broken jaw, eye damage and severe bruising.

His 34-year-old partner, meanwhile, had hair pulled out and had bruising after being thrown to the ground.

They had been walking along Fairfax Road in Swiss Cottage when they challenged the man for urinating in the street.

“I urge anyone who can put a name to the faces of the men pictured to call without delay. Any information provided will be treated in the strictest confidence.”

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101, quoting reference CAD634/June 10, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
