A man in his 40s suffered serious head injuries after being hit with a pool cue at a pub near Boroughbridge.
Police today opened an appeal to find the perpetrators of the attack, which left the man hospitalised for several days.
In a statement today, North Yorkshire Police said the incident happened at 12.27am on Saturday, July 13 at the Anchor Inn, Langthorpe.
The village is a mile north of Boroughbridge, in the Harrogate district.
Two suspects fled before emergency services arrived.
