A CAR owner had his two front teeth knocked out while his girlfriend was punched in the stomach during a "vicious, unprovoked attack" at Sainsbury’s in Farnham.

The incident took place on Friday, February 7 at 9.40am in the car park of Sainsbury’s South Street store after a "slight collision" between a small red car and a van.

According to police, the driver of the van and the passenger of the car had a "verbal altercation". At this point another man came over, grabbed the passenger of the car, threw him against the wall and hit him in the face.

During the attack the victim’s girlfriend was also punched in the stomach. The male suspect was dragged off the victim and then walked away towards Sainsbury’s.

The victim was left requiring hospital treatment as two of his teeth were knocked out.

PC Nicola Ansell said: “This was a vicious, unprovoked attack that left the victim requiring urgent hospital treatment and ongoing hospital treatment.

"We are appealing to anyone who saw what happened, or anyone with any information or dash cam footage, to call us straightaway.”

The suspect is described as a white male, aged between 25 and 35 years, about 6ft to 6ft 3 inches tall, of stocky build with cropped blond or light brown hair.

He was wearing a hi-viz with ‘Carpentry Co’ written on it, with a pink/red hoody underneath. He left the scene in a silver VW Transporter panel van.
