Police investigating a serious assault at a Leeds nightclub have released images of nine people they want to trace.

It's after a man was found with serious head injuries in the toilets of Popworld on Cookridge Street on December 15.

The victim was taken to hospital.

Officers think the people pictured may have witnessed what happened, or may have seen the perpetrators leave the venue.

DC Glyn Gill of Leeds CID, said: “We are continuing to conduct a number of enquiries into this serious incident and very much want to speak to anyone who can assist the investigation.

“We are now in a position to release CCTV images of nine men who were in Popworld who we believe could have witnessed an assault or could have seen suspects fleeing the scene.

“I wish to stress that we want to identify and speak with these men as witnesses only. I would ask them, or anyone who has any information which could help the investigation, to contact myself at Leeds CID on 101 referencing crime number 13240680390."
