Blood On The Dancefloor: Nightclub 'Glasser' Wanted

Police have released this CCTV image of a suspect wanted for glassing a young man in a north London nightclub.

The victim, aged in his twenties, was with a group of female friends at the Caipirinha Jazz Bar, Archway Road, Highgate on August 24, last year.

The suspect began hassling the girls on the dancefloor at approximately 2.30am and the victim approached him in an effort to cut short the unwanted approach.

An argument ensued between the two males and the suspect appeared to walk off.

However, when the victim turned round to speak to his friends, the suspect returned and smashed him over the head with a glass.



The attack caused a deep cut to the victim's head which required stitches.



The assailant was then ejected from the nightclub by security.



He is described as being in his mid-twenties of slim build, short brown hair and about 5ft 8ins in height.

He was wearing jeans and a grey polo shirt and wearing a shiny fake diamond earring.



Detective Constable Juan Martin of Wood Green CID said: "This was a cowardly attack in which the suspect smashes a glass on the victim's head after he turns around to walk away.



"This could have been much worse and the victim was lucky to escape with just stitches."



Anyone with information, witnesses or anyone who recognises the male in the CCTV stills is asked to contact Wood Green CID on 0203 276 3071 or Crimestoppers 0800 555 111.
