Police have released footage of a man who allegedly assaulted another man in Civic after ACT Policing’s investigations failed to identify the man.

Around 2:30 am on 24 March, police attended Verity Lane near London Circuit following reports of a ‘one punch’ assault and subsequent fight between numerous people.

The victim suffered a large cut to the side of his head as a result of the assault.

An ACT Policing spokesperson said police have made “exhaustive investigations” to identify the alleged offender, including speaking with some witnesses and reviewing CCTV of the incident.

However, to date police have not been able to identify the man.

The alleged offender is described as Caucasian in appearance, about 180cm (5’11”) tall, with an athletic build and short brown hair. He was wearing a light grey top, blue jeans and white sneakers at the time of the alleged assault.

Police would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident, who may have mobile phone footage of the incident, or who may be able to identify the alleged offender from the CCTV footage.

Anyone with information that could assist police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website.
