“The victim sustained a deep cut to his head which required stitches. The assault was unprovoked, and the victim is very lucky he did not receive more serious injuries.
“This was a violent attack, and we are determined to catch the person responsible. We will not tolerate violence in our city centre. People should be able to enjoy a night out in our city – not spending the morning in QMC with a nasty head injury.
“We have released an image of a man we wish to speak to who could help us with our inquiries. If you know the man in the picture or are the man in the picture, then please get in touch immediately.”
Anyone with information is being asked to call 101 quoting occurrence number 2743323 or calling Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
