Minicab driver has jaw broken in two places in attack by four men in BewbushA Minicab driver has had his jaw broken in two places in an attack by four men in Bewbush.
Police are appealing for help to find those who attacked the 43-year old Crawley man, who was left with serious facial injuries.
Shortly after midnight on Saturday, July 5, four men got into a pre-booked Minicab outside the Half Moon pub in Brighton Road, Southgate.
As the Minicab turned into Stevenage Road, Bewbush, the men started punching the driver to the head. He managed to stop the car and the men got out and ran off.
The victim is still receiving treatment for his jaw and facial cuts.
Two local men aged 23 and 21, arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm, were later released without any action being taken against them.
However the investigation continues. Detective Constable Simon Goulding said: "This was a cowardly attack on a man going about his lawful business.
"We hope local people will know who did this and let us know.
"We also seek witnesses to the four men leaving the pub, and who saw anything else that might help.
"If you can help, please contact us via 101 or email
101@sussex.pnn.police.uk quoting serial 0066 of 5/7. You can also call the independent charity on 0800 555 111."
