In this week's Halstead Gazette, we report on a shocking assault on a Halstead man in the McDonald's restaurant at Galleys Corner in Braintree.
Two workers, one a 23 year-old man from Halstead, were attacked by a group of men around 2.40am on Saturday after the group had been asked not to drink alcohol on the premises.
The man was knocked out and had his head stamped on, while the other was punched in the face.
Police are now searching for two men they would like to speak to about the attack.
