Detectives are releasing a CCTV image of a potential key witness in a fresh appeal for information two months after a serious assault was reported in Ryde on the Isle of Wight.

Police were called to the Qube nightclub in Ryde at around 2am on Saturday, July 16, 2011 after a report of an assault on a 25-year-old man from Newport, Isle of Wight.

Detectives are appealing for more witnesses to come forward, including people who were in the Qube nightclub on Friday night (July 15) into Saturday morning (July 16).

Police are particularly keen to trace a man, believed to be of Eastern European origin, who gave first aid to the victim at the nightclub moments after the alleged assault. He was seen on CCTV and detectives are now in a position to publish an image of this man, who is not suspected of any crime.

This man and anyone else with information is asked to contact Isle of Wight CID by phoning 101 or emailing iow.cid@hampshire.pnn.police.uk

From outside Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, call police on 0845 045 45 45. Mini-Com users can call the police on 01962 875000. Information can be given anonymously by calling the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111
