Police investigating an altercation outside a Plymouth nightclub in which a man was punched unconscious have released photos of a potential witness they would like to identify.

Officers are appealing for information over the disturbance involving a group of people near Jesters, in Union Street, at around 4.50am on Saturday 2 October.

Detectives would like to find the person pictured who it is believed was walking past at the time and may have valuable information.
