Mick Carter is attacked by a masked assailant in a first look image from an upcoming instalment of EastEnders.

The pub landlord, played by Danny Dyer, is left manning the Queen Vic alone, when he goes to investigate a strange noise coming from the barrel store.

As soon as he gets down there he is jumped by a masked man.
