Hope footage sheds light on Queenstown assault

Queenstown police plan to release CCTV footage later today of an assault which left a man with facial injuries.

The victim was knocked unconscious outside Devil Burger restaurant, Church Street, at 2.45am on Saturday.

Police said he then received several blows while unconscious on the ground.

Acting Sergeant Jason Reid said: "We're waiting for the medical report but it appears he had blood coming from his ear and sustained facial injuries, particularly around his left eye, which is possibly fractured."

The victim was taken to Lakes District Hospital.

Acting Sgt Reid said there were no suspects as yet.

"We'll be releasing CCTV footage this afternoon hoping to identify people we want to speak to, including a girl who was standing nearby who we believe witnessed the assault."

Yesterday, police released an image of a man in a dark T-shirt and dark skinny jeans who they want to question.

Anyone with information should contact Detective Matt Jones at Queenstown police station.
