We have released CCTV images of a man who could have information following a serious assault in Heswall.

At some point between 12.15-12.30am on Sunday 23 March, it was reported that a man aged in his 50s had been punched and kicked to the head in NYX Sports and Grill Bar, on Pensby Road.

The victim self-presented at hospital and was treated for a fracture to the right side of his temple and a serious eye injury.
