Three men who caused a trail of destruction in Halstead are being searched for by police.
At around midnight on Friday, January 30 the men caused damage to a black Honda motorbike parked outside the Laniger Restaurant.
The men, aged in their late teens or early 20s, have also cracked the window of the restaurant before running off and pushing a 65-year-old man to the ground from behind.
He suffered a broken collar bone and ribs and needed hospital treatment.
The three suspects have then smashed a window of the White Horse pub before getting into a black Seat Leon and driving off.
The suspects are believed to have been drinking in the Royal Oak earlier in the evening.
Anyone with information about the men or who saw what happened is asked to call Ds Mark Cadd at Braintree Police Station on 101.
