Two men, aged 39 and 24, had left the Lizard Lounge bar, which is next door, at about 2am when they were verbally abused by a group of men and women.
As they prepared to leave, their car was allegedly kicked. When the 39-year-old got out of his vehicle to assess any damage, he was racially abused and punched in the head by one of the men, knocking him unconscious.
The 24-year-old was then kicked and punched until he fell to the floor.
The older man was taken to hospital with a head injury and is still said to suffer from considerable pain.
Redbridge police have released the images of people they want to speak to in connection with the incident.
