The incident happened at around 3.45am on Saturday 19 November in the Old Town when a woman sustained a fractured cheek and eye socket when she was assaulted by a man outside Redz Bar in High Street.
“I am appealing for anyone who was in the area around the time, or who saw the incident itself, to please come forward,” said investigating officer PC Ellis Molyneux.
“I believe there were a number of people in the vicinity. I’m hoping someone may have captured dash cam footage as they passed the scene. If you can help, please get in touch.
“The victim, a woman in her 20s, sustained a nasty injury to her cheekbone and eye socket and was taken to hospital for treatment.”
The suspect was described as a stocky black male, around 5ft 8 inches tall with dark hair styled in thick cornrows, wearing a black waterproof-style jacket with black polo shirt or shirt buttoned up to the top.
