The South Yorkshire Police spokesperson continued: “It is believed that the first man punched the victim in the face, knocking him to the ground and into the road before the second man then helped the victim up before proceeding to repeatedly punch him with force to the head, knocking the victim to the ground a second time.

“It is then believed that the suspects fled the scene.

“Enquiries are ongoing but officers are keen to identify the four people in these CCTV images as they may be able to assist with enquiries.

“While we understand these images may not be of the clearest quality, we hope they will serve to jog people’s memories if they were in the area that evening and recognised any of these people and the clothes they were wearing.
