Men identified after Blackpool attack which left victim with broken jaw

Earlier this week police asked for help identifying two men they wanted to speak to following an assault in Blackpool which left a man with a fractured jaw.

Both men have now been identified and one will be interviewed in due course, Blackpool Police said today.

Officers say the 18-year-old victim and his friends had been talking to two other men outside a bar on Clifton Street, Blackpool, shortly before 2.25am on September 3.

When they got onto Queen Street the discussion initially continued, but then one of the men punched the victim once in the face.

That caused him to fall to the ground and momentarily lose consciousness.
