The victim was found on Paragon Street, near to the junction of Chariot Street, at around 10pm having suffered a life-threatening head injury. He remains in hospital in a critical condition.

Detective Superintendent Craig Nicholson, the officer leading the investigation, said: “Over the course of the last four days, officers have been carrying out a number of enquiries as well as reviewing CCTV in the area.

“Following our recent appeals, we have been provided with some very helpful information from the public and have now identified the man in these CCTV images who we believe could assist us with our investigation.
