A late-night attack on two people in downtown Wellington left one man with serious injuries, and police want the public's help in tracking down the assailants.
The victim was walking with a friend past Reading Cinemas, Courtenay Place, when "an unknown group of males" jumped him, knocking him to the ground and seriously assaulting him, police said in a statement.
"The victim suffered significant facial injuries and needed surgery to repair his broken jaw as a result of the assault. Police would like to speak with two males captured on CCTV in the area at the time in connection with the assault."
