Police have released CCTV images of a man wanted in connection with a serious assault at a Horsforth pub.
A 46 year old man received serious injuries, including a fractured skull, when he was punched to the ground as he was leaving the Kings Arms on Sunday, January 5.
The incident happened at the Town Street inn at about 1.25am and police believe the attack was linked to the victim intervening in an argument between two customers shortly beforehand.

He was wearing a beige jumper and blue jeans, and is believed to be a regular customer at the pub.
The 46 year old has been receiving treatment in hospital but his injuries are not considered life threatening Anyone who recognises the man in the photograph or who has any information that could help the investigation is asked to contact Detective Constable Lee Swift at Weetwood Police Station via 101, or to call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
