A 46-year-old Bournemouth man sustained a broken wrist, a broken finger and cuts to his face following an assault at the Libertine pub, Alumhurst Road, Westbourne. It happened at approximately 3.15pm on Wednesday 30 July and police are appealing for witnesses and anyone with information to get in touch.
