"There is a suggestion that a weapon may have been used.
"The CCTV shows what looks like an attack on the man in the centre of this picture. The victim has not come forward to make a complaint.
"Later on, a teenager who we believe might have been involved in this incident is seen on other CCTV images walking around with two huge knives, walking past members of the public who can be seen doing a double-take.
"People may have seen him and quickly walked away but we would like to hear from them. It would be helpful if anyone who saw someone with a knife could contact us."
The juvenile was arrested while carrying the knives on suspicion of affray and later released on police bail. Knives have been seized.
Anybody with information is asked to contact PC Matt Brett at Torquay CID by calling 101 and quoting crime reference FB/12/62780 or on the crimestoppers 0800 555111 number.
