POLICE investigating an attack on a pub doorman in Coventry have released an image of a man they hope to speak with in connection with the incident.
A bouncer at the Oak Inn was allegedly attacked with a brick in the early hours of Sunday morning (August 23).
Security footage has been released picturing a man who police believe could help in their inquiries.
A statement from West Midlands Police said: “We want to trace this man in connection with a brick attack which left a pub doorman injured in Coventry.
“He is suspected of driving the attacker away from the Oak Inn, Far Gosford Street, in a grey Seat Leon on Sunday morning (23 August).
“The doorman was struck on the head after a brick was hurled at him and, although he suffered serious injuries, is expected to make a full recovery.
