A man was taken to hospital after being hit with a “blunt object” by a stranger during a ruckus near a nightclub.
Police say the victim was “involved in an altercation” at about 1.48am on Saturday outside Clique Bar in Ramsgate.
A spokesperson said: “He was attacked with a blunt object by a man not known to him.”
The weapon is thought to be similar to a baseball bat or golf club, but CCTV has proved inconclusive in determining what exactly it is.
The male suspect left the scene in Harbour Parade before patrols had attended.
The victim has been discharged from hospital.
Officers have carried out a number of lines of enquiry, including house-to-house enquiries and an in-depth review of all available CCTV footage.
Police would like to speak to anyone who may have seen the altercation or who may have information about the incident.
