The 36-year-old man was also assaulted as he tried to come to the aid of his friend, receiving minor injuries in the process.

CCTV footage revealed that the group then left the scene and went to St George’s Square where they tried to book a taxi. They left the area after being unable to do so.

It is thought that the suspect, who is white, in his 20s and has short brown hair, had been in the Tokyo bar that night.

He was wearing a black low-cut V-neck t-shirt, blue jeans and trainers with white tips.
