Daniel Powell from Oldham, Greater Manchester, was set upon by a gang of thugs after he became separated from his friends on a night out.

It is then believed that the gang cruelly attacked the teenager - without any provocation - with the butt of a glass bottle.

Daniel suffered a fractured skull, bleeding to his brain and needed 51 staples to his head following surgery.

The severity of the teenager's injuries means he cannot provide the police with the accurate information they need to catch his attackers, as he barely remembers the incident.

The 18-year-old victim cannot remember exactly what bar he was in or provide a description of his attackers.

Police believe he was in a bar on Yorkshire Street in Oldham when he was attacked, around 2.45am on Sunday July 20th.

Daniel does remember a woman, who police want to trace, giving him first aid after he collapsed.

Det Con Jed Stubbs, from Greater Manchester Police said: “The victim was enjoying a night out with his friends when he was brutally assaulted with a glass bottle.

“Because the victim cannot remember what happened, we need the public’s help in piecing together exactly what happened and where so we can trace the offender and bring him to justice.”
