OFFICERS have released a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to about a pub assault.

Police said the man may have “vital information” about the incident on Sunday in which a man was punched in the face and chest.

PCSO Alex Catterall said: “Do you recognise this man? We’d like to speak to him about a report of an assault at the Sycamore Farm Pub in Burnley in which a young man was punched in the stomach and face.

“It happened on Sunday at 6pm. We believe the man pictured in the CCTV was in the pub with a teenage boy around the time of the assault and may have important information about what happened.”
