The incident happened at around 2.55am on Sunday June 1, 2008 as the two male victims aged 20 and 24, were standing on Windsor Street.
They were approached by two men and one assaulted them. The attacker also attempted to assault a third man who managed to run away.
The suspect made off after the incident towards Sherrard Street. He is described as white, aged between 25 and 30-years-old, around 6'1" and 6'5" tall and of a muscular build. He had a square face, a shaven head and was wearing a blue chequered shirt and dark trousers.
