POLICE are hunting two teenagers after a 21-year-old was smashed over the head with a bottle in an unprovoked attack as he ate a kebab in a town park.
The victim was sitting in the park area with his girlfriend at the rear of Quendon Place, Haverhill, late on Friday night when he was set upon.
A spokesman for Suffolk police said the pair were approached by the two men, who began shouting abuse for no apparent reason.
He said the young man walked over to find out what they were shouting about but was struck over the head with a bottle by one of the offenders.
