Kent Police are appealing for witnesses following an assault at a Sittingbourne pub on Saturday 27 June 2026. The incident took place at around 10.20pm on West Street, where a man in his 20s was punched in the face and subsequently taken to hospital for treatment before being discharged.

The victim sustained facial injuries after the alleged assault inside the pub. Emergency services responded promptly after receiving reports from members of the public.
