At around 2am on Wednesday, September 7, officers were called to a report that a man was assaulted on Mathew Street in the Cavern Quarter. The victim, in his 40s, was punched by a man in an unprovoked assault, before his assailant ran off with another man in the direction of Legends Sports Bar.

The victim was taken to hospital for treatment on a fractured jaw after the assault.
