Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed an assault outside a snooker club in Lancaster last month to come forward.

At between 5.45pm to 6.00pm on Tuesday 12th May, there was an altercation between two men in Squires Pool and Sports Bar on Church Street which resulted in one of them, a 35-year-old local man, being punched, falling to the floor and losing consciousness. It is thought that he suffered a head injury.
