It is believed that a disturbance at the venue ensued at around 12.45am, during which a glass was thrown in the direction of the victim and struck the side of his face.

He was taken to hospital due to his injuries and has since been discharged after receiving treatment.

Detectives have released an image of a man they would like to speak to about the incident and urge anyone who may know his identity to contact police.

Detective Sergeant Richard Anderton, of GMP’s City of Manchester division, said: “This was a reckless and very dangerous incident that caused a nasty laceration to the side of the victim’s face and it is lucky that the injuries weren’t even more damaging.
