POLICE are appealing for witnesses to come forward after a man was seriously assaulted outside a Blackpool bar.

The assault took place at 1.20am on Saturday 4th August when the 19 year old victim has been involved in an altercation with a man outside the Lifeboat Inn pub in Blackpool.

The victim suffered cuts, grazes and bruising to face and also lost several teeth.

Anyone with any information should call Lancashire Police on 101.
