The victims – a man aged in his 30s and a woman aged in her 40s – were standing on the balcony area of the bar as another group of people were being escorted from the premises.

A woman who was part of the group grabbed the female victim’s hair and a male from the group then punched her to the face. She fell to the floor and was kicked to the face.

The male victim attempted to intervene but was punched by the man. Thankfully his injuries were not serious, however the female victim attended hospital and it was found she had four fractures to her eye socket that will require surgery.
