AN argument in a pub ended with two men being beaten up.

Police have just released details of an incident on May 2 and they are appealing for information to trace a man who is believed to have been involved.

The incident took place at about 5.30pm after two work colleagues had been playing pool in The Sheepwalk pub in High Road, Leytonstone.

The pair started playing pool with two other men who they did not know.

Soon after, an argument started and one of the workers, who had been playing pool originally, was "subjected to a short but serious assault".

A police spokeswoman said: "He was kicked, punched and sustained a deep cut to his head.

"His colleague was also assaulted."

The fight involved four men who witnesses have described as being Albanian.

Police are looking to identify the man in the CCTV image who is described as white, about 5ft 4ins with short cropped dark brown hair.

He was wearing a turquiose blue t-shirt, blue jeans and a dark belt.
