Surveillance images have been released by police showing a man they want to trace in connection with a gang attack in Burnley.

Detectives from Burnley CID are hunting the attackers of a 30-year-old man outside the shops in Brunshaw Avenue.

Armed with a variety of weapons, the gang left the victim with a number of cuts and a head injury, which required hospital treatment.

But a series of surveillance stills have now been recovered from the scene of the attack.

And police are keen to speak to anyone who recognizes the man captured as part of the footage.

All of the men who fled the scene when police arrived are said to be in their late teens or mid-20s.

The violence is thought to be the result of a dispute between different families on the estate.
