Detectives have issued CCTV images of a man who may have information following an assault in Liverpool City Centre in the early hours of yesterday morning, Monday 20 March.
At around 3.30am, a 19-year-old man was in Fitzgerald’s Bar in Slater Street when he was slashed across the face by a man with an unknown implement, believed to have been a bottle.
The victim sustained a serious facial injury which is being assessed. Extensive enquiries are ongoing.
Detective Constable Dave Gaskell said, “We think the man pictured may be able to assist our enquiries so if you know him please come forward.
“This was a completely unprovoked assault on a man who was at a bar with his girlfriend. He received serious injuries which may require lengthy treatment, in addition to the psychological impact that such a serious assault has.
“We will continue to support him as the investigation continues.”
