Meanwhile detectives are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding Andrew's death.
Det Chief Insp Nick Wallen from Protective Services (Crime) – formerly know Homicide and Major Inquiry Team – said: “We believe this man left the venue almost immediately afterwards, so he will probably not know the outcome of his actions.
“That is why I am appealing for him and any other witnesses to this incident to come forward and help the police with their enquiries.”
The attacker is a white man in his late 20s or early 30s and he wore a dark, long-sleeved T-shirt.
