An investigation is underway in Bristol, after an assault reported in the hours following England's Euro 2024 final defeat.
A man is still being treated in hospital, after he was punched on St Nicholas Street, around 12.45am on Monday 15th July.
Detectives have published images of a man they'd like to speak to as part of their enquiries.
Officer in the case DC Emily Barber said: “The victim continues to receive medical care in hospital and we are determined to provide his loved ones with answers about what happened.
“We hope the public can help us identify the man, who is shown on CCTV wearing a red England football shirt, for that reason.
“The incident happened a few hours after England’s defeat in the Euro 2024 final, so there were a large number of people still in the area having watched the match. We believe there are likely to be witnesses who have not yet come forward, maybe because they did not at first realise the severity of the incident, but we would now please encourage them to get in contact with us.”
