WEST Mercia police have released CCTV images of a man they would like to question about an assault that took place in Ross on Wye.

The incident, which they describe as a 'serious assault', took place in the early hours of Sunday February 9 when a 19 year old man left the King Charles pub at around 2am. He was then approached by a group of four or five men. Words were exchanged, then the victim was threatened, before he was thrown face down onto the concrete.

He sustained a laceration to his chin and a broken bone in his hand.

Anyone who recognises the man in the photographs, or who could have witnessed the assault, is asked to contact PC Kim Matheson, at West Mercia Police on 101, quoting the incident number: 138-s-09 02 2014.
