A 40-year old man was left with facial injuries after being attacked outside a Bow nightclub on Sunday.

The victim was involved in a minor altercation with an unknown female on the dance floor of Paisa nightclub in Hancock Road at 3am.

He was found outside with his injuries half an hour later.

DS Iain Harkes of the Violent Crime Unit said: “It is strongly believed the victim’s actions within the club may have upset someone leading to him being attacked outside.”
