The two attackers are white and in their late teens or early 20s and only left the taxi when its driver said he was calling the police.
The victim was later taken to hospital and found to have a fractured right eye socket and broken nose.
A 19-year-old man has been arrested and bailed in relation to the incident, which happened at about 2am on Saturday, December 8 last year.
A CCTV image taken from the Morledge area has now been released in connection with the assault.

“December 8th?!?!
The CCTV - The actual video AND the still image should have both been released on... DECEMBER 9TH.
Why are Derbyshire Police so slow to pick up on the best way to catch these people? As soon as the CCTV was in their possession that should have had it up on Youtube - 'have you seen this man?' - emailed it with an alert to the DET who could have got it up on this website in just a few minutes!
The quicker they act - the quicker it will be to get to people who might be witnesses and the quicker the actual perpetrator might actually be caught.”

“Why does it take so long to publish these CCTV images?”
