Officers have issued a CCTV image of someone they wish to speak to after a man was punched by an ‘unknown’ attacker in Manchester.
Officers were called out to reports of an assault on Oldham Street, in the Northern Quarter, at around 3.30am last Tuesday, June 10.
It’s understood the victim, who had been walking in the Northern Quarter with another man, fell to the ground after being attacked by an unknown man.
