Police are hunting this man after a serious assault in Hootananny in Inverness

A fresh appeal has been launched in an attempt to trace a man suspected of a vicious assault in a busy Inverness bar.

CCTV images from Hootananny in Church Street have been reissued as part of a fresh effort to find the person responsible for the attack in June.

The attack, described by police as “apparently unprovoked”, left a 25-year-old with serious facial injuries

An investigation has been ongoing since the incident on June 14 but the assault remains unsolved.

The pictures from a camera inside the busy pub show a man calmly walking through a corridor close to an upstairs bar area.

The attack is believed to have happened just 20 minutes later, at around 2.30am.

Now officers have launched a fresh appeal for anyone recognises the man to contact them urgently.

He is believed to be in his mid-20s to around 30-years-old.

He appears to be around 6ft, with dark hair, gelled in a comb-over style.

On the night of the attack he was wearing a black or dark green T-shirt, dark jeans and black shoes with white stripes on the sides.

A spokesman for the force said: “Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”

The pub is one of the busiest in Inverness, sitting at the junction between Church Street and Fraser Street in the city centre.

It has a downstairs bar and restaurant which regularly showcases traditional live music. The upstairs bar area, known as Madhatters, opens later at weekends.
