It is suspected a group of around 15 men from the Liverpool area were in the town for the Cheltenham Races on a stag do.
Door staff were in the process of ejecting one of the group from the venue, when another member of his group then glassed a member of staff.
This left him needing 16 stitches across his face and head.
A disorder then broke out and the group spilled onto the street.
Police were called and detained a group however the man who was suspected to have committed the glassing had fled the scene.
Officers identified a suspect on CCTV and visited the hotel the group were staying at however they had already left.

A number of enquiries have been conducted across both Gloucestershire and Merseyside however officers are now asking for help from the public to identify the man pictured.
