CCTV appeal following assault in Liverpool city centre

We have issued CCTV images of a male we want to trace after a man was assaulted in Liverpool city centre.

At 8.25pm on Thursday 22^nd July emergency services were called to Whitechapel to reports that a man in his 20s had been found with head injuries. It is believed that he was struck with a bottle.

We have issued CCTV images of a male we would like to speak to as we believe he has information which could assist our investigation.

Detective Inspector Chris Saidi said:  “Thankfully the victim did not suffer serious injuries but we're determined to find out who was responsible and put them before the courts.

"I would ask anyone who has information which could assist our investigation, or recognises the man pictured, to come forward and we will take action."
