Police are appealing for witnesses to an assault which left a man with a suspected fractured eye socket.
The 34-year-old victim was standing on a balcony inside the Time nightclub in Southernhay, Basildon, at just after midnight on Saturday when another man who he had briefly spoken to earlier walked up to him and punched him in the face.
The victim was left with severe bruising, temporary loss of sight, and a cut below his eye.
His attacker was described as white, 6ft, large build, a large beer-belly, a pale complexion, a blond skinhead hairstyle and a round chubby face.
He wore a long sleeve burgundy-coloured shirt and black trousers.
Anyone with information should contact Det Con Colin Norton at Basildon CID on 01268 532212.
