Venue assault

POLICE say they are hunting a patron who assaulted an employee at a licensed venue in Swan Hill.

The male was approached after being suspected of being under the age of 18 playing a pokies machine last Friday.

Police said the alleged offender produced an unacceptable form of ID, before he became agitated and assaulted the victim.

He was yet to be identified.
