POLICE are appealing for help after a man was punched and knocked to the floor by another man.
At 1.50am on April 2 it was reported that a man approached the victim, a 35-year-old man, and knocked him to the floor by punching him once.
It is believed he had followed the victim from Rubber Soul bar on Mathew Street to Rainford Square, outside Hardy’s in Liverpool city centre where the assault happened.
The victim was treated in hospital for a serious neck injury and is now recovering at home.
Merseyside Police is appealing for help to identify the man pictured, who may be able to assist the investigation.
Detective Inspector Chris Saidi said: “This was a shocking and unprovoked attack on a man who was visiting Liverpool, who had every right to go out and enjoy an evening without being subjected to this attack.
“If you recognise the man pictured, or witnessed any part of the incident, then do let us know as any information you hold could prove vital in our efforts to bring those responsible to justice.”
