The police are seeking the public’s assistance to identify the two people in these CCTV pictures, in connection with the attack on a man in Paceville on Saturday morning.

Osama Al Shzliaoy, a 26-year-old Sudanese who resides in Gżira, was critically injured after being knocked to the ground outside a nightclub and sustaining serious head injuries.

It is believed he was with friends on Paceville’s main road sometime after 6 a.m. when the group bumped into two Romanian men coming from the other direction.

According to a witness, Mr Shzliaoy fell to the ground and the two men ran off leaving him in a pool of blood.

The police are searching for the suspect. Last night they said that anyone with information that could help them solve the case should call 119 or 2122 4001. Callers have the option of giving their information in a confidential manner.
