Appeal following assault in Fazakerley

Detectives have issued CCTV images of two people who could have information that may assist with their enquiries following an assault in Fazakerley.

At around 9.50pm on Friday 15^th March a man was closing a convenience store on Longmoor Lane when he asked two people to leave the premises and they complied but threatened him.

Then 10 minutes later as he was closing the shop, he went outside and was assaulted and threatened by a man and a teenage male.

The two suspects, a man in his 40s and a male aged around 16, left the scene.

The victim, a man in his 30s, sustained cuts to his arm and knees, and injuries to his face, head and back.

Officers attended and carried out a search of the area.
