Police are appealing for public assistance to locate a woman that police wish to speak to following an assault earlier last year in Brisbane City.

Around 12.45am on December 1, 2013, a 34-year-old woman and a 39-year-old man were at a table at a bar on Edward Street when they were approached by a woman.

The group then became involved in an altercation and the 34-year-old was punched in the face by the woman.

The man was also punched in the face during the altercation.

The woman has left the scene with a group of people and they were last seen heading towards Eagle Street.

The woman was transported to hospital with lacerations to her face and damaged teeth, and the man was also transported with injuries to his cheek.

Police are trying to locate a woman who is described as being Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander in appearance, around 170cms tall and medium length dark brown hair.

She was last seen wearing a yellow or orange dress.

Police are also hoping to speak to a woman who was seen with a tattoo on her upper arm who was in the area at the time.

Investigations are continuing.
