A woman was sexually assaulted then battered by a group of men in bar Lammar's in Manchester'sNorthern Quarter.

The woman was in the Hilton Street venue with friends when they first were approached by a group of eight men who were becoming increasingly rowdy.

Around 50 minutes later one of the men sexually assaulted the woman, who is aged in her twenties, who threw her drink on him.

At that point the woman was thrown to the floor and kicked repeatedly by the man who had sexually assaulted her and his friends.

One of her friends was also punched in the face, suffering a broken jaw, while another friend was verbally abused by other men in the group.

A fourth woman, unconnected to the first victim and her friends, was also spat at.

The man who sexually assaulted the woman is white, 5ft 6ins tall, in his mid twenties with brown hair and was wearing a black, short sleeved top.

Police believe two other men in the group were father and son, and have released CCTV images of one of the men involved.

They are asking anyone who witnessed the incident between 1-2am on Saturday, September 29, or who recognises the man in CCTV images to contact them on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800555111.
