Police responded to calls from outside Stroud Kebab World on King Street
Officers in Stroud are appealing for witnesses to an assault which took place outside a kebab shop last week.
Police were called with a report that an altercation had broken out in front of Stroud Kebab World on King Street at around 10.40pm on Thursday (14 April).
It was reported that a man had got into a verbal confrontation with a group of around six men before one of them squared up to the victim and pushed him, causing him to stumble backwards.
The group moved away from the victim and the altercation continued before one of the men walked back to the victim and punched him in the head. The victim fell to the ground and was left unconscious.
The victim sustained serious head injuries and was taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital for treatment. He has since been discharged.
The offender who then punched the victim was described as being white, of a slim build and was wearing black and white trainers, black trousers and a black or navy and grey hooded top with black t-shirt underneath which had an image or logo on the front.
