POLICE have released an image of a man they want to interview after a man was bottled in the face.
A 44-year-old man was walking with a friend along St James's Street in Brighton when he was hit in the face with a bottle at about 1am on July 31.
The man was then hit with a broken bottle by another man.
Police said he was then kicked in the chest and fell to the ground.
The victim was taken to Royal Sussex County Hospital for treatment and was discharged later the same night.
The man he was with was not hurt in the attack and nothing was reported stolen.
The two assailants, who are believed to have been with at least one other man, made off along Margaret Street.
The two are South Asian, about 5ft 5in to 6ft, of slight build and in their early to mid-twenties.
Detective Constable James Botting said; "We are still investigating to establish the motive for this isolated attack.
"Anyone who can identify this man or who saw what happened can contact us either online or by calling 101, quoting serial 83 of 31/07."
You can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
