A MAN is alleged to have punched a woman inside a busy Liverpool nightclub.
At around 3am on Friday, February 10, it is alleged that a man approached a woman inside Baa Bar on Fleet Street, in Liverpool city centre and punched her.
The woman was taken to hospital with a serious injury to her eye.
Since the attack, officers have carried out CCTV examinations and witness enquiries in the area and detectives have now issued CCTV images of a man they believe could assist with their investigation.
Detective Constable Dave Gaskell said: “This was an unprovoked and frightening attack that left a woman with a serious injury to her face and we are working to find the suspect so we can bring them to justice.
“Everyone should be able to go out and feel safe in our city without the fear of being attacked.
“If you recognise the man pictured then please let us know, as we believe he may hold vital information that can support our ongoing investigation.
“If you were in Baa Bar or on Fleet Street at around 3am on Friday 10 February and saw the attack or the suspect then please let us know.
“Similarly, if you took photos on your mobile phone that night or have video footage please come forward as soon as possible.”
