- A white man
- In his late 40s
- About 5ft 9 tall
- Stocky build
- Bald head
- Wearing a grey suit.
PC Glen Willis-Long from Winchester police station said: "This was a totally unprovoked assault on a member of the public who had stopped to see if a man needed medical help.
"The location for the incident is a busy road and it is likely that other people witnessed this incident or the fight beforehand and may have useful information."
