The victim was taken to hospital for treatment but has since been discharged.
No arrests have been made so far and enquiries are ongoing.
Lancashire Police has now released a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to in connection with the attack.
DC Dan Knowles, of Blackpool CID, said: “This was a shocking incident and it is only through luck rather than judgement that the victim was not more seriously injured.
“Our investigation is very much ongoing and we now need to speak to the man in the CCTV still who we believe can help with our enquiries.”
Anyone who recognises the man is asked to email forcecontrolroom@lancashire.police.uk or call 101, quoting log 0152 of July 15, 2021.
