Police have released a description of a man suspected of using a meat cleaver to injure people at a caravan park.

It follows an attack in the clubhouse at the Isle of Sheppey Holiday Village in Warden Bay Road, Leysdown.

Several people were hospitalised after the attack in the clubhouse in the early hours of Sunday, June 9.

Mother Bernie Apps told how last orders had just been called when a gang of about 20 men stormed in and started causing trouble.

Her husband was knocked unconscious after being bottled, her son was attacked with a bottle several times and one of her daughters needs plastic surgery after being sliced with a meat cleaver.

Now police are seeking help to find a man suspected of using the weapon.
