Merseyside Police are urgently searching for a man after a brutal street attack on a woman in Walton, Liverpool. The incident occurred at around 11.15 am on Monday, March 31.
The Attack
Police were called to Harbreck Grove after receiving reports that a man was violently assaulting a woman in the street. The victim, who sustained a head injury and significant swelling to the face, was taken to the hospital for treatment.
The attack, which has been described as domestic-related, saw the suspect repeatedly punch and kick the woman in the face. Ring doorbell footage, which the Liverpool Echo has chosen not to share, shows a disturbing scene where the man appears to hit the woman with an unknown object before punching her multiple times. The woman then falls to the ground, at which point the man continues to kick her repeatedly before fleeing the scene.
