A man suffered a broken jaw after being brutally attacked by two men on a street in Kilmarnock.
The 26-year-old was rushed to Crosshouse Hospital for treatment after being assaulted at around 10.20pm in John Finnie Street on Saturday, May 8.
Detectives say a large-scale disturbance broke out just minutes later with cars stopped in their tracks as brawlers fought in the road.
They have released a description of two men they believe were responsible for the initial attack, which saw the victim hospitalised due to the extent of his injuries.
The first suspect is described as white, mid 20s to early 30s, of a slim build and around 5ft 10. He was wearing a khaki hat, a dark top and light coloured jogging bottoms.
The second man is white, early 30s, around 6ft 5 and was wearing a dark coloured top and light jogging bottoms.
Officers have been scouring CCTV footage of the scene, near the junction with Grange Place in a bid to catch those involved.
Detective Constable Robert Graham, East Ayrshire CID, said: "Officers have been checking CCTV and making local enquiries since the incident, however, are now appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time to contact them.
"After the assault there was another disturbance involving a number of people where vehicles on the road were obstructed as it spilled onto the street.
"We would ask anyone who saw the initial attack or who may have been driving past and has dash-cam footage to get in touch with police."
Anyone with information can contact officers at Kilmarnock Police Station via 101.
