Detectives have issued CCTV images of a man who may have information that could assist enquiries following a report of a sexual assault in a Liverpool city centre bar.
At around 8.30pm on Saturday 22 April it was reported that a man allegedly touched a woman inappropriately at Revolver bar on Temple Court in the Cavern Quarter and then walked off.
She told staff, and the man ran off towards Victoria Street and North John Street.
Extensive CCTV and witness enquiries have been conducted, and detectives have issued CCTV images of a man they believe could assist in their investigation.
Detective Inspector Katie Coote said: “This was a disgraceful attack on a woman, and I would like to reassure the public that incidents such as this are rare. The victim is very shaken and understandably very distressed by the incident.
“We are taking this incident extremely seriously and I am appealing to the man featured in this image, or anyone who recognises him to come forward. We believe he could hold information that could be vital to our continuing enquiries.”
Det Insp Coote added: “Providing support to victims of sexual assault has never been more important, and I would encourage anyone experiencing this to report it to us and we will support you every way we can.
"If anyone who has suffered a sexual offence and you can find the courage to come forward and speak to us, we will deal with you sensitively and make sure that reports are thoroughly investigated."
Anyone who witnessed the incident or who has information which could help us with our inquiries, is asked to DM @MerPolCC, message ‘Merseyside Police Contact Centre on Facebook’ or CrimestoppersUK on 0800 555 111 with reference 23000341221.
Anyone with information or wants to report a sexual offence is asked to call 101 where you will be spoken to by specially trained officers or you can pass information to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
