Three thugs wearing dark suits and ties smashed a bottle over a man's head in a vicious street attack in Horsham.

The trio pounced on their 30-year-old victim as he was walking from Brannigans in Horsham towards the town centre at about 1am on Friday.

One struck him with a bottle, causing head injuries.

The victim was taken by ambulance to Crawley Hospital.

Two of the attackers had shaven heads and a third had dark, untidy collar-length hair.

Anyone with information should ring PC Tom Cashmore at Crawley CID on 0845 6070999 ext 31330.
