Police are hunting three men after an unprovoked attack outside an east London pub left one victim with a broken jaw.

The brawl began in JJ Moons pub in Hornchurch when three men, all aged in their twenties, were set upon by another trio of males.

The fight, which happened at around 10.30pm on Wednesday 22 of February, then spilled out from the Wetherspoon pub onto nearby High Road.

One of the victims had to be taken to hospital with a broken jaw, while the other two also sustained “assault-related injuries”, police said. The others did not require hospital treatment though.

Police in Havering have today released CCTV images of the three men they want to question over the assault.

The first was wearing a dark hooded top with blue jeans and dark shoes. Another was wearing a long-sleeved cream top with blue jeans and white shoes. The final man was wearing a white shirt with blue jeans and white trainers.

DC Phil Stokes from Romford CID said: "This was a nasty, unprovoked attack which left one of the victim's with injuries requiring immediate surgery. The level of violence used was shocking. I urge anyone with information to come forward."

No arrests have been made yet.

Anyone with information on the attack is asked to call 101 or call police anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. You can also tweet information via @MetCC
