Det Sgt Claire Moss, leading the investigation, said: 'The victim is still gravely ill in hospital, in a critical condition, and his family are in the process of travelling over from Lithuania to be with him. 

'The altercation between the victim and another man happened near to a busy taxi rank. People had obviously been out enjoying their Saturday evening, which had spilled in to the following morning. 

'It's those people who I would like to speak to. Did you see what happened? Do you have any information about the incident? 

'As our enquiries continue to progress, we really need people who saw what happened to get in touch with us, so we can identify the other man who was involved.'
