CCTV appeal following assault in Liverpool city centre

We have issued a CCTV image of a man who could have information following a reported assault in Liverpool city centre.

At around 7.30pm on Sunday 18 June it was reported that a group of men were involved in an argument with another man in Rubber Soul, on Mathew Street.

Another man, aged in his 30s, tried to intervene but was struck with a glass and needed hospital treatment to a head injury. He is now recovering at home.

All those involved were removed from the premises by security.

Our enquiries are ongoing into this incident and we believe the man pictured may have information.
