'Nasty assault' at Nottingham Wetherspoons left teenage girl needing reconstructive surgery on face

A teenage girl needed reconstructive surgery after she was hit in the face with a glass bottle on a night out in Nottingham.

Nottinghamshire Police were called to a "very nasty assault" at the Roebuck Inn, a Wetherspoons pub, on St James's Street shortly before midnight on October 27.

The 17-year-old was out celebrating Halloween with her friends when an altercation broke out between two groups.

She was hit in the face with a glass bottle after trying to calm the situation, leaving her with 13 damaged teeth and cuts to her lip.

Now, officers have released an image of a man they would like to speak to as part of an appeal.

He is pictured wearing a fancy dress outfit in the style of Waluigi, a character from the Mario franchise.

PC Ben Harwood said: "She sustained injuries which consist of a number of teeth being damaged and she is undergoing reconstruction surgery for these injuries.

"We are determined to find the person responsible and are releasing an image of a man we are keen to trace, as we believe he may have information that could assist the investigation."

Anyone with information is urged to call 101 and quote incident number 0844.
