They are described as white of Eastern European appearance and aged in their late 20s to early 30s.
The attack happened at approximately 12.10pm on Saturday, September 1 and was captured on CCTV. Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
PC Leigh Spencer said: “We were called to the scene by the ambulance service after the man was found with nasty injuries to his face and head.
“Through CCTV enquiries in the area we have managed to capture the assault and images of the people responsible. I would urge anyone with information about those men, and the men themselves, to come forward.
“We would also like to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident. Did you witness the assault? Did you see the events that lead up to it? If so please don’t hesitate to get in touch.”
Andrew Thomas, Leicester City Council's Head of Traffic Management, said: “Attacks like this against staff who are simply carrying out their work is totally unacceptable, and we will be working with the police to identify the people responsible.
"We'd urge anyone with information about this incident to report it to the police."
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Det Con Spencer on 101.

“So happy to see that Knasher has been removed along with my rant against him/her/it. If that's what it takes to remove his type then I'll take that credit!
Now I can concentrate on offering my disgust at this unjust attack and wish the victim all the best and the offender/s all the worst!”

“Knasher, you never know - your watch might have had a different time to the warden's. In any case, you were late. He did his job.
There is no good excuse for kicking someone in the head. The fact that he was rendered unconscious for some time is a worry - the possibility of permanent damage increases with the length of time out cold. And of course, if it knocked him out, the kick - which was delivered coldly and without passion, by the look of it - could just as easily have killed him.
And you think that's ok? Really?”

“So what do you do Knasher (says it all really) when someone really gets your goat. Dennis would not approve now he is all cuddly as seen on CBBE's”

“Wherever they are from, homegrown or not, they should serve a long sentence.
Personally my thoughts are with the victim who was attacked because he was doing his job. I wish him a speedy and full recovery.
Surely that, at least, is something we can all sign up to?”

"The Traffic Warden is Asian, probably of the muslim faith judging by the CCTV footage.............those that can't see it need to look again.

I did think that but was not 100% sure enough to state it in my post. If there WAS a racial element to this attack then I hope that does come out in court, because I think that that would probably lead to tougher sentences. If not I suspect the sentences are likely to be the usual 'slap on the wrist' we so often see.”
