POLICE are studying CCTV footage of an attack on a RAF serviceman which left him with a broken leg after it and his head were stamped on.

Senior Aircraftsman Peter Forrest, 24, is recovering in hospital following the attack by a gang of teenagers on a bus in Carterton on Saturday.

He was then attacked again when he left the bus in Brize Norton Road, at about 2am.

Police spokesman Toby Shergold said: "Officers will be assessing the CCTV footage from the bus and continuing to look for witnesses or anyone in the area at the time."

Officers are also liaising with Brize Norton airbase, Mr Shergold added.

One of the youths is described as about 5ft 6in, of medium build, with mousy brown hair and wearing a green and white hooded top.
