Woman's lip needs stitches after being hit in face in Harrogate bar
Police have launched an appeal for witnesses after a woman was hit in the face in a Harrogate nightclub.
The female, in her 20s, received a large cut to her lip that required several stitches.
The incident happened at Revolucion de Cuba on Parliament Street on December 10.
North Yorkshire Police, which issued the appeal today, said the assault has only recently been reported "due to the distress and anxiety that the victim felt following the incident".
It added the victim had "bravely allowed us to share a photograph of her injury" to aid the appeal.
According to police, the assault happened at about midnight as the victim went to retrieve her coat from behind a chair in the upstairs area of the club. Shortly after the attack, a group of woman spoke to the victim.
Investigating officer, PC Sylvia Matla said:
If you have information you can email Sylvia.Matla@northyorkshire.police.uk or call her by dialling 101, selecting option 2, and asking to speak to her.
If you wish to remain anonymous, you can pass information to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Quote the North Yorkshire Police reference number 12230024522.
