Detectives want to speak to two men after a 50-year-old man was punched unconscious outside a kebab house.

The man was assaulted outside Old Town Kebab House in Swindon just before 19:00 BST on Friday.

He sustained serious injuries and was taken to hospital, but has now been discharged.

Wiltshire Police released a CCTV image of two men and said officers "urgently need to hear from anyone" who may recognise them.

Anyone with information is asked to call 101 or to contact Crimestoppers.
