The victim – a man in his 30s – was enjoying a night out in Church Street when he was approached by a stranger who offered to sell him drugs.
When the victim declined, the man became aggressive and threatened him with a knife.
A short time later the victim was approached again by the same man, but this time he was accompanied by several other men.
The men launched a vicious attack, kicking and punching the victim in the head, leaving him with serious eye injuries, a fractured hand and damaged teeth.
The shocking incident occurred at around 11.50pm on August 27, 2022.
