Police have issued an E-fit picture of a man they want to talk to about a brutal robbery at a Billericay off-licence.
The robber left a shop assistant lying in a pool of blood at Unwins on Western Road after punching him several times in the face as they struggled over a £21 bottle of champagne.
After the attack, which took place at around 8.30pm on April 25, the victim was taken to Basildon Hospital, where he received stitches to a head wound.
The attacker is described as a white man in his 20s, of medium to heavy build and 5ft 7in tall. He was wearing a blue woolly hat and a blue polo shirt.
Anyone who recognises the man, or who has any information, should contact DC Paul Cakebread at Wickford CID on 01268 561312 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111
