Police have released an e-fit of a thug who put a woman in hospital by striking her on the back of the head in her own home.
Do you recognise this man?
The 40 year-old was hit on the head with either a fist or weapon at Roots Hall Avenue, Southend.
The victim had just put her dog out the back of her home and went upstairs. When she came downstairs she confronted the man in her kitchen at 9am.
She then turned way from him to grab the phone and call for help when she felt a sickening blow to the back of her head.
The woman then fell to the floor and the laughing coward then kicked her several times before he fled.
She was left with severe concussion and was taken to Southend Hospital last Tuesday.
He was white, aged 18 to 20, about 5ft 7ins to 5ft 8ins inches tall, pale with freckles across the nose and a small gap in between his top front teeth.
Anyone with information is urged to call Det Con Webb on 01702 431212.
