VIOLENT thugs stamped on a man's leg while he was lying on the ground in Colchester High Street.

Police are appealing for information following the serious assault in the town centre between 3.30am and 4am on  Sunday, August 12.

The victim, a 27-year-old from Colchester, was knocked to the ground outside Marks and Spencer and Happy Snaps.

His leg was then broken.
