The horrific footage shows a trio of holidaymakers, reportedly including Colhoun, beating French tourist Jugurtha Nubel Khaleche, 23, on May 11.
Colhoun is seen repeatedly throwing punches at the backpacker in the Nomad Beach Club – whilst his friend pins down the target on the floor.
A woman is seen dragging Colhoun away to stop his barrage of hits, before the Love Island star ex-partner comes back to stamp the target on the head.
A furious security guard then appears to intervene, pulling the fight apart.
Cops arrived after receiving a report at 4am – but the Brits had already escaped by then.
They found Khaleche lying on the ground bleeding from a stab wound inflicted on the left side of his torso.
He was given first aid and rushed to the Thalaong Hospital.
He is now in stable condition.
Police are now launched a hunt for Colhoun, 33, from Leeds, along with Emilio Armani Bozzo, 34, and Rayon Stanley Joseph Hamilton Craig, 28.
They are also searching for three women.
Cops also warned that an Interpol red notice would be issued, and confirmed that the men in the video had been identified.
They alleged that Colhoun was the man who stabbed the victim, while Craig pinned the victim down.
Bozzo was confirmed as the man attacking the tourist with a chair.
Superintendent of Choeng Thale Police Station Ekkarat Plaiduang said the trio were drunk when they picked a fight with the younger holidaymaker.
They allegedly started scuffling inside the bar area, before the brawl erupted in the garden.
Colhoun is alleged to have produced a knife at this point, which he used to stab the victim.
The superintendent said: “On May 13, our investigation team reviewed CCTV footage and a bystander’s video which clearly captured the suspects’ physical features.”
He added that one of the men “dropped a black iPhone containing a DTAC SIM card registered to Mr Emilio Armani Bozzo” when the group were running away.
They also said that witnesses “later confirmed he was one of the three suspects”.
According to the Phuket Immigration Office, Rory had already flown to Bali later the same day with the other two Brits.

Police said they were collecting evidence to request an arrest warrant for the men in Indonesia.
Plaiduang added: “This was a very violent attack. A knife was involved, which makes it much more serious.
“The man in the video stabbing the victim, we believe from the investigations, to be Rory Billy Colhoun.
“The person on top of him is Rayon Stanley Joseph Hamilton Craig and the third man involved is Emilio Armani Bozzo.”
Colhoun had previously been in a relationship with reality TV star Amber Gill, who won the fifth series of Love Island in 2019.
The pair reportedly rekindled their relationship in 2022, following the collapse of their first relationship.
The reality star, 27, was pictured enjoying dinner in Dubai with Colhoun, who was jailed for a vicious nightclub attack in 2015.
Gill has since presented the ITV series The Full Treatment, and competed on the Channel 4 survival series Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
She had dated Jack Grealish before they separated last year.
She also visited Bali in February this year.
