Moment man in Santa outfit kicked in head
This is the shocking moment a thug kicks a person in a Santa costume in the head.
The victim who is “believed to be a man” sat defenceless leaning against a chip shop window as the scumbag landed a brutal strike. He sent the victim’s head flying back and smashing against the window.
The incident happened during a violent disorder in the middle of the night in Falmouth, Cornwall on December 17.
A spokesperson for the force said: “It is believed a man dressed partially in a Santa outfit was set upon, struck and kicked in the head repeatedly whilst unable to defend himself. Investigating officers would like to identify him to check on his welfare.
“They are also keen to hear from anybody who witnessed the incident or who may have information that could help enquiries.”
The video only shows the victim kicked once and it is unclear if it did happen “repeatedly” off-camera.
A video circulating online following the incident shows the moment the victim was kicked in the head by the man while he sat on the street in a very vulnerable position.
Comments under the video on social media suggest there was some kind of altercation within a nearby business which turned violent, resulting in running battles along the street. However it is not known whether the man in the Santa outfit had anything to do with the earlier incident.
