A WOMAN broke a man's leg by throwing him to the ground in martial arts style, Taunton police revealed this week.

The 22-year-old victim suffered a spiral fracture to two bones in his leg and a dislocated ankle after the unprovoked attack in Station Road, Taunton, at about 1.50am on March 2. He is now recovering at home after surgery.

Police are appealing for the public's help to trace the woman, who was stocky, in her 20s, with brown hair.

Anybody with information should call Crimestoppers on 0800-555111.
