POLICE are hoping witnesses will come forward after a man suffered a suspected broken jaw in an unprovoked attack.

The victim was at the Aruba nightclub in Redcar when he was attacked close to a "boxing machine" downstairs at about 1am on Friday, February 26.

A large crowd gathered to watch the incident and police are hoping there are a number of potential witnesses.

The victim, in his early 20s, was taken to hospital and is still receiving medical treatment for his injuries.

The suspect is described as a white man, about 5ft 8in with a stocky build. He was balding and wearing a dark T-shirt and lighter trousers and he left the club with another man shortly after the incident.

Anyone with information is asked to contact DC Ian Cox at Kirkleatham CID on 01642 302626 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
