Steve Arthur sustained bruises and a split lip during the attack
A Good Samaritan who stopped to help a woman in distress was brutally beaten by three men in an unprovoked late-night attack.
Steve Arthur, 27, was driving through Gosfield on his way to Braintree at 2.30am on Saturday, when he noticed a car with its hazard lights on and a woman standing beside it.
The former Notley High School and Braintree College pupil stopped and got out of his car to help but was suddenly pounced upon.
He said: “They pulled my hoodie over my head so I couldn’t see."
