Cheshire Police are after more information after they have claimed that a man bit another male early on Christmas Day.

The force have released a single CCTV image of a man they would like to speak to the Macclesfield town centre assault.

At around 3.30am on Sunday 25 December 2022, a 28-year-old man was in Popworld on Pickford Street when he and another man bumped into each other in the bar area.

As they continued onto the dancefloor the suspect grabbed the victim and bit part of his ear off.
