Police release footage of man allegedly involved in city attack

ACT Policing has released footage of a man police wish to speak to in relation to an incident that occurred in Canberra's city centre late last year.

A 31-year-old man required medical treatment after being seriously assaulted in Petrie Plaza near the Commonwealth Bank about 3.20am on November 27.

The alleged offender approached the victim and punched him in the head several times before he fell to the ground, police said.

Once on the ground the man allegedly kicked the victim in the head twice before leaving the scene on foot towards Akuna Street.

The alleged offender is described as having long, dark hair which he wore in a ponytail at the time of the incident.

Police said he was wearing a black T-shirt, grey tracksuit pants and a pair of black shoes that morning.

Police have released CCTV footage in the hope of identifying a man they believe could help them with their investigations. Picture: Supplied
