Police are appealing for information after a 20-year-old man has been left in a critical condition following a violent assault in Kingston.

The victim was found near a parked car in Beverley Way, Kingston-Upon-Thames in the early hours of this morning.

The car drove away from the scene as the uniformed officers approached.
