Witnesses are being sought to an assault in Clacton on Christmas Eve that left a 20-year-old woman with a suspected fractured cheekbone.
The incident is alleged to have occurred at 9pm on Tuesday December 24 when the woman was walking along Rosemary Road and saw two men verbally abusing another man.
She attempted to intervene in the incident but was subsequently assaulted, suffering injuries which required treatment at hospital in Colchester.
