A MAN has been left with fractures to his face and skull after he was punched unconscious on a railway station platform.

Police are hunting for a man seen on CCTV, allegedly slapping the victim on the head several times, before pouring beer over him at Hassocks railway station.

Both men got off the train before the man punched the victim, causing him to fall to the platform floor unconscious.

He suffered fractures to his face and skull as a result of the assault.

Officers believe the man in the CCTV images may have information which could help their investigation.
