Police are hunting a man who smashed a glass over the head of a pub bouncer who was trying to stop a fight.
The incident happened in the Black Bull pub in the Grassmarket area of Edinburgh, at around 11.30pm yesterday.
An altercation between two men broke out and a bouncer in the pub intervened to break it up. When he did so, another man hit him over the head with a glass, police said.
