Surrey Police say a 20-year-old man was left with a broken jaw and pelvis following the assault around 7.15pm on February 9.

The victim was travelling with three friends from East Croydon on their way back from Crystal Palace’s match with West Ham, when they became involved in a disagreement with a group of around 12 other men.
