Hampshire Police hunt crowd after brutal Portsmouth brawl leaves man fighting for life
Hampshire Constabulary have released fresh images of a crowd they want to identify following a vicious assault in Portsmouth.
Officers were called to Festing Road, near the Festing Pub, late on Saturday 18 August after reports of a fight between two groups. The scuffle happened between 11:15pm and 11:35pm, with police alerted at 11:38pm.
A man in his 30s suffered serious, potentially life-changing injuries and was rushed to hospital, where he remains under treatment.
Thugs vanishing before cops arrive
