Police investigating an attempted murder in Cheltenham earlier this year have released a CCTV image of a man who they believe may be a crucial witness to the incident.
The incident took place on Wednesday 19 August at around 5.30pm.
The victim, a man aged in his 40s, sustained a serious wound to his neck and was taken to Southmead Hospital for treatment. He has since been discharged and has made a full recovery.
Since the incident, officers have conducted numerous enquiries into the incident including a review of CCTV in the area and house to house enquiries.
Officers are now appealing for information from the public and they are particularly keen to speak to the jogger who was running over the Millennium Bridge at 5.34pm towards the scene of the attack, and may have witnessed the two men or what happened.
Officers are now urging the man, or anyone else who was in the area at the time, to come forward if they have not already spoken to police.
