Police issue photo of wanted man

POLICE have released the image of the alleged offender who, last month, threw a chair at a 19-year-old woman, causing serious injuries to her face.

About 3.50am on Sunday February 12, police were called to the assault at Transit Bar in Civic, where the offender is alleged to have forcibly thrown the chair at the woman’s face. Her injuries included a fractured jaw, badly split lip and several dislodged teeth.

The victim will now undergo extensive dental and facial surgery to her lip in upcoming months.

The assailant is described as a young man aged in his late teens or early 20s with light-coloured hair, wearing jeans, a dark coloured or black T-shirt with a light-coloured motif on the front, and white shoes or sneakers.

He was with another man of similar age; wearing a red cap, and cut-off heans or cargo pants. The assailant is believed to have been a patron of the Transit bar during the evening.

Anyone with information that can assist the investigation is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or  www.act.crimestoppers.com.au. Information can be provided anonymously.
