A man had his jaw broken in a vicious attack after a golden chain was yanked from around his neck in Leeds city centre.
The 50-year-old then had to undergo surgery to have metal plates to fitted into his jaw. West Yorkshire Police have released CCTV images of a man they now want to identify in connection with the street robbery.
The incident occurred at the junction of Central Road and Kirkgate in the early hours of December 18 last year. The suspect was described as white, aged in his mid to late twenties, with brown hair. He was wearing a zip-up khaki jacket and jeans.
