We are sharing images of two people detectives think may have information to assist an assault investigation in Southport.
At around 7.30pm on Friday 31 May, a man in his 60s was assaulted near to Gusto restaurant on Lord Street. He was taken to hospital for treatment to a broken jaw, which subsequently required surgery.
Extensive enquiries have been ongoing since the incident.
Detective Inspector Paul McVeigh said: “This was a violent and unprovoked attack which resulted in a serious injury to the victim, as well as being a traumatic experience.
“We are determined to identify those responsible so I would urge anyone who recognises the man and woman pictured to come forward as soon as possible. They may have vital information to assist us.
“Likewise, if you were in the area and saw the incident itself or any kind of commotion on Lord Street, let us know or send on any footage or images you may have.”
