In the early hours of this morning (Saturday 15 November 2014) a man was seriously assaulted while in a nightclub in Frederick Street.
Police in Edinburgh are appealing for witnesses following this incident at the SUVA venue.
A 28-year-old man was standing at the side of the dance floor when a male struck him to the face with an unknown object.
As a result, the victim was taken to hospital but was later released.
The suspect, who is described only as being white, in his twenties and wearing dark clothing, then ran from the club and was lost to sight.
Anyone who can assist officers with their ongoing enquiry is now asked to come forward.
Detective Constable Douglas Mogg said: “The victim suffered a painful injury to his face and we are pursuing a number of lines of enquiry to trace the male responsible.
“Anyone who was in the club and witnessed the attack or who has information that can help us trace the suspect is urged to contact police immediately.”
Those with information can contact Police Scotland on 101 or alternatively, the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
