A man lost consciousness and another was concussed after a violent incident in Eastgate Street, Gloucester earlier this month.
It started outside the Doctors pub shortly before 11.15pm on Saturday 16 July and continued in the alleyway between Mecca Bingo and the site of the old Argos.
Two men were attacked by the offender, who punched one victim, causing him to lose consciousness for a few minutes, then punched the other man while he was attending to his friend, causing concussion and a lump to the side of his face. A third man was then punched and pushed.
