At around 4.30 pm on August 24, 2022, a 42-year-old local man was in an alleyway near to Lovely Lane when a disturbance broke out with a group of men.
One of the men then punched the victim, causing him to fall to the ground. As a result of the assault, the victim sustained serious injuries.
Officers are now appealing to anyone who may recognise the man in the CCTV to come forward.
