A 25-year-old man was left needing multiple stitches following the assault while he was drinking in the Townhouse on Watergate Street in Chester.
Police are now appealing for witnesses following the ‘unprovoked attack’, which saw the victim punched in the face while he was waiting to be served at the bar during the early hours of Saturday, May 24.
