Video: 'Peaky Blinder" hunted after metal bar attack in Birmingham He is described as a mixed-race man wearing a flat cap, a dark double-breasted jacket and baggy trousers. He was walking in Ladywell Walk, near Birmingham Hippodrome, at around the time of the attack. DC Guy Whitfield, from Birmingham's violent crime investigation team, said: "The CCTV footage is very grainy and we appreciate this is not of the best quality, but we felt that the description was so unusual that someone would be able to recognise the man and come forward with a name. We are still unsure of the motive behind the attack, but what we do believe is that this was completely unprovoked.

Detectives asked anyone with information about the attack to come forward.
