Shocking moment thug smashes nightclub reveller over the head with a bowl in Halloween bar brawl
The victim was defending himself against two men when a third man hit him from behind with the bowl
THE SHOCKING moment a thug in a nightclub smashed a fellow clubber over the head with a large bowl during a Halloween bar brawl has been caught on film.
Trouble at the club, 6 On Broad, in Birmingham city centre started when a group of three men attacked another reveller.
The footage which was taken from an upstairs bar shows the moment one yob grabs a bowl from the bar containing Halloween sweets before smashing it over the victim's head.
The attacker snuck out of the club just minutes later leaving his victim covered in blood and needing hospital treatment for stitches to his head wounds.
West Midlands Police arrested two men at the venue but the third suspect fled after the incident in the early hours of October 30.
Today detectives released a dramatic 15-second video of the assault in a bid to trace the attacker.
PC Ross Evans said: "This was a really cowardly attack.
"The victim was defending himself against two men punching him when a third man hit him from behind with the bowl.
"Seconds later he retreats and then within moments he runs back into the melee and again punches the victim from behind.
"The victim was left with nasty cuts to his head.
"This type of aggression is totally unacceptable and I would urge anyone who knows the man to get in touch, they can speak to us in confidence and don't have to leave their name.
"We're still looking into the cause of the assault so I would also appeal to the man in the clip to do the right thing and speak to us so he can put across his side of the story."
The attacker has been described as white with a short beard, around 5ft 7ins tall and was wearing a light-blue short-sleeved shirt at the time of the assault.
Two 32-year-old men from Hall Green and Acocks Green in Birmingham were arrested on suspicion of assault and bailed until January pending more enquiries.
