Appeal after man sustains broken jaw following Derby assault

We’re appealing for witnesses after a man suffered a broken jaw, following an assault in Derby.

The incident happened at around 11:30pm on Saturday 5 April in Victoria Street, close to the bus stop, opposite the Baby Platinum Lounge.

The 25-year-old victim reported being approached by a man who punched him in the face before running away.

The victim was with his girlfriend, also in her 20s, at the time of the incident.

The man is described as white, around 6ft tall and of stocky build, with brown hair and a beard. He was wearing a grey C.P. Company jacket, with the logo on the sleeve, and dark-blue jeans.

We also want to identify the man pictured who is being treated as a potential witness who we believe may be able to help us with our enquiries.

Anyone who witnessed the incident should contact us with reference 25*206106.
