Police say an argument between the attacker and his female victim got out of hand when he threw a glass at her, which caught her on the side of the face.

Officers have identified a suspect but nobody was arrested during the incident.

A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: “We got a call at 7.45pm on Friday saying a female had been assaulted and hit in the face with a glass.
