Police have released a CCTV image to help identify a suspect after a man was seriously assaulted in a pub.
The incident happened at the Queen’s Pub on Talbot Road in Blackpool on Saturday 7 September 2023 at around 3:30pm.
Investigating officers said the victim was verbally abused, attacked from behind in an unprovoked assault, punched, and the offender also bit him on the nose causing a deep gash.
A police spokesperson said: "We appreciate this happened some time ago, and whilst we have been making enquiries since that date, we now need to ask for your help.
"We are looking to identify the man in the CCTV still who we believe carried out the assault. We believe he is called either Des Green or Des Handy, and is Scottish. He was last believed to be living in the Grange Park area of Blackpool.
"If you recognise the suspect, or if you witnessed this incident, please email 4009@lancashire.police.uk or contact 101, quoting log 1057 of 9th September, 2023."
