The attack, which left the victim with injuries to his face and ribs, took place at around 1.50am on Saturday 17 December, outside Peacocks, in Bank Street.

The man was taken to Bath, where he was treated at the Royal United Hospital.

Community Policing Investigator Eleanor Bettles said: “The victim was helped by members of the public following the assault.

“As well as this, there were a number of people stood outside the kebab house in Bank Street at the time, therefore there must be witnesses to the assault.
