Police want to hear from anyone who was in Halstead on the night of Friday, January 30 and saw three men causing a trail of destruction.
At around midnight the three men had caused damage to a black Honda motorbike parked outside the Laniger Restaurant. The men, aged in their late teens or early 20s, also cracked the window of the restaurant before running off and pushing a 65-year-old man to the ground from behind.
He suffered a broken collar bone and ribs and needed hospital treatment. The three suspects then smashed a window of the White Horse pub before getting into a black Seat Leon and driving off.
The suspects are believed to have been drinking in the Royal Oak earlier in the evening.
Anyone with information is asked to call DS Mark Cadd at Braintree Police Station on 101 or ring Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
