The 25-year-old victim had been on the smoking balcony at superclub Oceana when he was attacked and knocked unconscious.

He was taken to Southampton General Hospital following the incident, between 12.45am and 1am on May 3, where he was found to have bleeding on the brain and a fractured skull.

The suspect is described as white, around 5ft 9ins and of stocky, muscular build.

He has short, light hair and was wearing a light grey v-neck top over a white T-shirt and dark blue jeans.
