The police urged anyone witnessing such an incident to dial the emergency number immediately.

"If you see something like this please please please ring 999 at the time.

"If you saw a house on fire you wouldn’t message NIFRS, likewise if you see an assault don’t message us, RING 999!!! The victim has walked away from this one but remember that one punch can kill."
