Picton police are appealing for help following two serious assaults with glass bottles.

An 18-year-old man suffered serious facial injuries when hit in the face with a bottle on Waikawa Road between 1am and 1.30am on January 1.

Police believed five men seen in a silver sedan about that time may be connected to the attack.

Another man was left with a broken arm after being struck with a bottle on London Quay about 11.30pm on New Year's Eve.

Police urged anyone with information about the attacks to contact the Picton station.
