CCTV appeal after two women attacked at a pub in Liverpool

UPDATE: We have arrested a 38-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman from Kirkby on suspicion of assault in connection with the below incident. They have since been bailed with conditions and enquiries are ongoing.

We have issued CCTV images of a man and a woman who may have information that could assist enquiries following a serious assault at a pub in Liverpool.

At around 11.10pm on Friday 26 April we received a report of a fight at the Lime Street Central Pub. It was reported that a man and a woman attacked two women after an argument inside the pub.

Shortly after the incident the man and woman attacked one of the women again in the porch area of the pub.

Both women were taken to hospital after the assault. One sustained bruises and cuts to her face and head and the other sustained a broken jaw which required surgery.

Since the assault extensive CCTV and witness enquiries have been conducted in the area, and detectives have issued CCTV images of a man and a woman they wish to speak who could assist in their investigation.

Detective Inspector Neil Dillon said: “This was a violent attack that has left a woman with a serious injury to her face.

“Everyone should be able go out and feel safe in their own community without the fear of being attacked and we are working to find those responsible.

“I am appealing to the man and woman shown in this CCTV footage, or anyone who recognises them to come forward as we believe they could hold information that could be vital to our continuing enquiries.

“Similarly, if you were at the pub at around 11pm on Friday 26 April and saw the assault or those involved in this incident please contact police as soon as possible.

“Any information you hold could be crucial to our enquiries.”
