Fresh appeal for 'Gypsy General' wanted in connection with serious assault at nightclub
Police have issued a fresh appeal for a man they are hunting in connection with a serious assault at a nightclub that left a young man with life-changing injuries.
Arthur Anthony McDonagh, known as 'the Gypsy General', is wanted in connection with an attack on a 20-year-old man at a nightclub in the centre of Newport on November 19 last year.
