An investigation has been launched after a man was pushed onto the tracks at the underground at Liverpool Lime Street and officers have released this image in connection.

On Tuesday, 7 October, at just after 5pm a man was with two friends at the underground platform for the Wirral Line at Liverpool Lime Street.

As they walked down the platform, an unknown male pushed the victim onto the track.

Officers responded and the man had been helped off the tracks by members of the public. The victim has been taken to hospital and thankfully, there is no information to suggest any serious injury.
