Man assaulted in Shrewsbury town centre pub
Police are keen to trace pub-goers after a man was assaulted on Saturday 26 March at Montgomery's Tower in Shrewsbury.
The victim and his friends were having a drink outside in the bar area when they were approached by the offender between midnight and 12:15am at the pub and club in Lower Claremont Bank, Shrewsbury.
The man asked the victim if he had a cigarette, which was handed over.
Both men continued speaking until the offender began using inappropriate language. The 20 year-old told him to stop and leave him alone but the man became verbally aggressive before pouring the bottle of beer he was holding over the victim's head and body.
The victim then threw water at the offender. Before leaving the scene, the offender threw his beer bottle at the man, cutting the victim and causing reddening to the side of his face.
The offender described as a white man aged 26 or 27 years old with short gelled back brown hair approximately 5ft 10ins tall and of a stocky build. At the time of the incident he was thought to be wearing a dark coloured striped top.
Officers are keen to speak to anybody who may have witnessed this incident and they are asked to call West Mercia Police on 101 quoting incident number 251s of Saturday 26 March.
