A brutal pub brawl in a town centre has left a man unconscious and bleeding profusely, prompting an urgent police investigation.

The assault occurred last month on April 6 in Bolton, Greater Manchester, with emergency services arriving at the scene at around 3.10am following reports of an assault.

A man was knocked unconscious and left bleeding on the pub's floor after the attack. The victim, who was attacked by another male, has since faced additional health problems due to the severity of his injuries.

Authorities are now calling on the public to help them track down the man alleged to have carried out the assault. Police are also launching a CCTV appeal, seeking a man and two women for questioning related to the incident.

Greater Manchester Police are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to step forward as they continue their probe into the violent assault, the Manchester Evening News reports.
