Detectives investigating a homophobic attack in Northampton have released a CCTV image of one of the men suspected of being behind the assault.

Last month a man was followed from Northampton train station to the BP petrol station, at Westbridge, and was then punched and kicked to the head as he walked along Black Lion Hill.

The victim, a 20-year-old man from Milton Keynes, required treatment at Northampton General Hospital for cuts to his face and bruises.

Officers, who have now released this CCTV image of one of the attackers at the petrol station, say he was attacked because of his sexuality, Northampton Chronicle reports.
