The police are appealing for help to find a man they want to speak to in connection with an assault in Wells.

John Finn may be in Somerset or possibly the Devon and Cornwall police force area.

The police need to contact him about an incident which happened on Sunday afternoon (26 May) when a man in his 20s was assaulted at a house party in Priory Road in Wells.

The man sustained injuries to the back of his neck and right shoulder blade and remains in a stable condition in hospital.

Avon and Somerset Police are keen to trace John Finn, aged 44. He is described as a white man of medium to large build, about 6ft 2ins tall with a shaven head.

His hair is dark brown and he has dark brown eyes. He has a tattoo on his right wrist with the name 'Alice' on and a scar on the outside of his right forearm.

He has links with the Devon and Cornwall area and searches have already been carried out in the Sidmouth and Cranbrook areas.

We would encourage anyone spotting him not to approach him but to call 999 quoting Avon and Somerset police reference 5219116782.
