IPSWICH Police are appealing for information after an assault in the Alexandra Park area .
A 23-year-old man had walked from town through Alexandra Park at around 5.50pm on Thursday, April 18.
One of the group approached the man and asked him for a cigarette, he explained that he didn't have any and walked off along Grove Lane.
This member of the group then called out to two females who were walking close to the man, one of the girls punched the victim in the back and was joined by the first youth who continued to assault him by punching him around the head.
Both offenders ran off down Grove Lane and into Finbars Walk.
Nothing was taken from the victim during the assault; he later received treatment for minor head injures at Ipswich Hospital.

A black male, around 5ft 9in, 18-19 years old, he wore a baseball cap and grey long sleeved top.
A white female, 14-15 years old of slim build with messy hair which was tied up.
