A Chatham man is recovering from emergency surgery after a brutal attack over the weekend. 
Chatham-Kent Police say two men got into an argument when the suspect punched the victim in the head and throat.
The 63-year old man had to be airlifted to hospital in London for emergency surgery to his larynx.
Authorities are hoping the public can help identify the suspect, who is described as a white man, 35-to-40 years old with brown or dark blond hair.
Anyone with information is urged to call Chatham-Kent Police or Crime Stoppers.
