POLICE want to speak to these men after a father was punched and kicked in front of his two children at Merry Hill.

The 41-year-old was parking his car at the shopping centre at 1.40pm on April 3 when the trio walked out in front of him, causing him to break suddenly.

There was a short verbal exchange before two of the men pulled the dad from his car and punched and kicked his head and body several times before fleeing the scene in a white Mercedes.

The attack happened in full view of the man’s two young children, who have been left traumatised by what happened.

Although the victim wasn't seriously injured, he still required hospital treatment for minor injuries.

Anyone with information should contact Detective Sergeant Leighton Shingles at Smethwick police station on 101 quoting the crime number 20DY/63704A/16 or email contactus@west-midlands.pnn.police.uk.
