Police have released images of a man they want to speak to in connection with a serious assault in Ross-on-Wye.

It happened in the early hours of Sunday 9th February.

The 19-year-old victim left the King Charles pub at about 2am and was approached by four or five men. Words were exchanged and one of the group threatened him.

He was then picked up and thrown face first onto the concrete.

He sustained a laceration to his chin and a broken bone in his hand, and was taken to hospital by a relative.

Witnesses or anyone with information, including anyone who recognises the image, is asked to contact PC Kim Mathieson at West Mercia Police on the non-emergency number 101 quoting incident 138-s-09022014 or ring the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
