A MAN was hit round the head with a snooker cue as he walked along a footpath on Orford Lane with his wife last Saturday night.
Police say the attack was completely unprovoked and they would like any witnesses to contact them.
The attacker walked towards the couple at 10.45pm and stopped just in front of them to light a cigarette.
As they walked past, he lashed out at the 30-year-old man and smacked him round the head with the cue, leaving him with lacerations to his face.
The offender is white, 6ft tall, aged 18 to 23 years and of medium build.
He was wearing a white baseball cap and a white jacket.
Anyone with information on the attack or the offender can contact police on 652222.
