A man suffered fractures to his eye socket and cheekbone after being robbed in Bristol earlier this year. Avon and Somerset Police have released an image of a man they would like to identify in connection to the attack.
The force say three men attacked a man, in his 30s, on Unity Street in the city centre at around 2.50am on Saturday, July 16. They stole the victim's gold chain and he required stitches to a deep cut above one of his eyes.
Investigating officer DC Hira Hanif said: “In August we released a CCTV image of three men we wanted to speak to in connection with this incident. The following month, two men, one aged 25 and the other aged 32, were arrested on suspicion of robbery. They have since been released under investigation while other enquiries are carried out.

“We’re now releasing a new image of a man in the CCTV still who we’ve not been able to identify. We think this man, who’s seen wearing a white t-shirt with a black stripe on the sleeves, might have information which could help our investigation and we’re keen for him, or anyone who is able to tell us who he is, to contact us.”
