Police are searching for a man they want to talk to after an "extremely serious assault" left a victim with life-changing eye injuries. The attack took place in Victoria Square, Worksop, at around 3.30am on February 12, according to Nottinghamshire Police.
The victim has been left with serious and lasting injuries to his eyes, despite him being treated quickly after a passer-by took him to hospital. Officers have been trawling through CCTV footage, analysing forensic evidence and carrying out house-to-house enquiries as part of an investigation into the incident.
Detectives have now reissued a public appeal to trace Craig Rose, 43, who they urgently want to speak to in relation with the assault. They have warned members of the public not to approach Rose, who is also wanted for failing to appear at court in relation to another offence.
