serious head injury and we need to gather all the information we can about what
happened. 2 men have been arrested on suspicion of assault however our
investigation is still on going and witnesses are still being sought. We are
treating all the people in the CCTV stills as potential witnesses and they are
not in any trouble. We simply need to know what they can tell us about the
circumstances surrounding this young man’s injuries. If you recognise yourself
