GREATER Manchester Police are searching for a group of four people with Irish accents after a man suffered a fractured skull in a "brutal" assault.
The incident occurred shortly after 4am on November 5 in Manchester city centre.
GMP officers were called to Stevenson Square outside Hula Bar to reports of a serious assault.
The friends of the 30-year-old victim were involved in a verbal altercation with the offender and his group of friends before the victim was kicked in the face in an unprovoked attack.
The victim then fell to the floor and suffered a fractured skull.
Police have said they believe the attacker, as well as the people he was with, had an Irish accent.
