He was wearing brown shoes, blue jeans, orange checked shirt and a blue jacket and is described as:

PC Adam McMillan said: “This appears to be an unprovoked attack on a man who had enjoyed a night out in Guildhall and was on his way home. “Unfortunately, he doesn’t remember anything about what happened and has no clue who assaulted him. “Guildhall would have been quite busy at the time so I’m hoping someone can help us with our enquiries.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact PC McMillan at Fratton police station on 101 or the anonymous Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
