Man suffers broken jaw during assault in Shrewsbury
A man suffered a broken jaw during a violent attack outside a Shrewsbury nightclub last weekend.
The man was assaulted outside the Beach Nightclub in Shrewsbury after an argument broke out between a group of friends at around 3.35am on Saturday 25 October.
It is believed that the victim was attempting to calm the situation down when he was punched in the face and knocked to the floor before being punched for a second time as he stood up.
The offender was not known to the victim or the group and has been described as white, 6ft 3ins tall and was wearing a bright green Adidas hooded top.
The victim sustained a broken jaw and required surgery after the incident.
