A HOMELESS man was brutally attacked by three men as he settled down to sleep in a car park.
The 49-year-old victim was approached by the men just before 3am on Saturday in John Street Car Park, Swindon.
They carried out a violent and unprovoked attack on the man that left him with a broken nose and cuts and bruises to his left eye and back.
The victim was taken to the Great Western Hospital where he was treated for his injuries until he was released yesterday lunchtime.
One of the suspects is described as 6ft 3ins, with short dark hair and in his early 20s. He was wearing a beige T-shirt and dark coloured jeans.
The other two suspects were shorter, with short dark hair and wearing dark clothes.
Alvina Kumar, spokeswoman for Swindon police, said: "This vulnerable and homeless man was set upon by three men for no apparent reason and without provocation.
"As a result of this frightening ordeal he suffered nasty injuries and we appeal to anyone with information to come forward."
Witnesses or those who may know the identity of the attackers are asked to call Swindon police on 01793 528111 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
