Police have released images of two men they want to speak to following an assault in Southend that left a man with bruising to his face and arm.
The incident took place in Cecil Court, near to Priory Park at around 9.30pm on Tuesday, 14 January.
Police are urging the public to help identify the individuals, who may have crucial information about the incident.
While face coverings have legitimate uses, concerns are growing over their role in concealing identities during crimes and some people are calling for a crackdown on them.
David Berry, a concerned resident, said: “We’re getting a lot of youth wearing face coverings lately about in the Southend area. Face coverings like this should be banned.”
If you recognise these men or have any details about the incident, police are asking you to get in touch and quote investigation reference 42/7263/25.
You can report information online via the Essex Police website, using their 24/7 Live Chat service or by calling 101.
