Police are seeking a group of four people, two of whom were dressed as 'Oompa Loompas' who attacked a male on a night out in Norwich.

The assault happened on Thursday 27 December between 3.20am and 3.30am down Prince of Wales Road.

The victim, a 28 year old male, had just come out of a kebab house next to Tesco when he was approached by the group, consisting of three males and one female.

Two of the males were dressed as 'Oompa Loompas' from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with painted orange faces and dyed green hair and were wearing hooped tops. The female had dark hair and a dress split at the side.

One of the males in the group then pushed the victim to the floor before he got up. He was then hit on the head, fell to the floor and hit again.

The victim sustained a cut below his right eye, two black eyes, a small cut to the nose and a cut lip.
