The victim was struck with a glass and sustained a large cut to his head during the altercation at the Castlereagh Hotel.
Yesterday detectives continued their investigation and repeated an appeal for information.
Police received a report that about 12.40am on Saturday a 24-year-old Dubbo man was in the toilets of the hotel in the city's centre when a man entered and spoke to him.
The pair became involved in an argument and the man was punched to the side of the face and fell on the floor.
He got back up and walked to the sink when he was pushed and struck on the head with a schooner glass.
The man once again fell over and had his wallet stolen before his attacker left the hotel.
Police were called to the hotel and drove the man to Dubbo Hospital where he received stitches to a large cut to his scalp.
A crime scene was established at the hotel and examined by forensic officers.
Detectives are continuing their investigations into the assault and are looking for a man described as being aged in his 20s and wearing a white/grey t-shirt, blue jeans and tan-coloured shoes.
Inspector Mitchell Croyston said yesterday detectives were continuing to make inquiries and that closed circuit television footage was available for the incident at the Castlereagh Hotel.
A spokeswoman for the Western NSW Local Health District said the injured man had been discharged, not admitted after he was treated at the emergency department of Dubbo Hospital.
