Two men remain in hospital following an alleged violent incident at a popular Manly pub late on Sunday night.
Emergency services were called to the Ivanhoe Hotel on The Corso around 11pm on 25 January after reports of an assault, according to NSW Police.
Paramedics treated two local men, aged 44 and 49, at the scene before transporting them to hospital with head injuries. Both men are reportedly in stable condition.
Police say the incident began as a verbal disagreement between the two victims and a younger man who was unknown to them. The younger man was accompanied by two women at the time.
According to authorities, the altercation escalated when the man allegedly struck the 44-year-old victim with a beer glass to the face and hit the 49-year-old multiple times in the head with a bar stool before leaving the premises.
The trio was last spotted walking along North Steyne, between Queenscliff and Manly Beach.
Detectives from Northern Beaches Police Area Command have released images of a man they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries. He is described as appearing to be in his late 30s to early 40s, with a solid build, short dark hair, a moustache, and tribal tattoos on both arms. At the time of the incident, he was wearing a white collared polo shirt with glasses secured in the neckline, shorts, and sneakers.
Anyone who can identify the man, witnessed the incident, or was in the area at the time with dashcam or mobile phone footage is urged to contact Manly Detectives or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
