Police investigating disorder at a far right demo in Liverpool city centre on Saturday are appealing for the public to come forward with photographs and video footage which could help them with their enquiries.
In total 33 people were arrested following the disturbance around Lime Street station and St George’s Hall. All have now been bailed pending further enquiries.
Detectives are currently exploring a number of lines of enquiry to identify other individuals who participated in the event and who they would like to speak to as part of the investigation.
They are asking anyone who may have photographed or filmed the event to come forward with the footage. Footage and photographs can be supplied in complete confidence. Anyone happy to do so can provide their details to allow officers to take statements and recover the original footage but photographs and video can also be sent anonymously.
Detective Chief Inspector Mark Tivendale said: “A significant number of arrests have already been made but we are not resting on our laurels. “We are currently pursuing a number of lines of enquiry to identify other people who may have been involved in criminal acts and disorder during that afternoon.
“We are aware that a large number of people who were there on the day, including people who were simply bystanders, filmed or took photographs of what happened on their cameras and mobile phones.
“We would ask anyone who has such footage to supply it to us so we can identify the people responsible and bring them to justice.” Anyone with footage or photographs can email them to disorder@merseyside.police.uk
