A man was the victim of a racially aggravated attack in Wavertree
Detectives have issued CCTV images of a man who could have information that may assist with their enquiries following an alleged racially aggravated assault inside a Wavertree shop.
On Sunday 20 October, officers received a report from North West Ambulance Service that a 27-year-old man had been attacked by an unknown man inside the Go Local on Wavertree Road, and had made racist remarks to him.
The suspect then made off on foot along Wavertree Road.
The victim suffered a cut to his forehead and eye and was treated for his injuries.
Detective Inspector James Halpin said: “This was a frightening experience for the victim and we are continuing to investigate the person responsible for this attack.
“Hate crime will never be tolerated on Merseyside, and we understand the distress and upset that being targeted in this way causes.”
Extensive enquiries are ongoing and detectives would like to identify the man pictured as he may have information to assist with their investigation.
Detective Inspector Halpin added: “Our continued enquires have led to this CCTV image of a man who may be able to assist with our investigation.
“I am appealing to the man featured in these images, or anyone who recognises him, to come forward. We believe he could hold information that could be vital to our continuing enquiries.” First for all the latest news from across the UK every hour on Hits Radio on DAB, at hitsradio.co.uk and on the Rayo app.
