A woman was left with suspected broken ribs and a chunk of her hair ripped out after a vicious assault outside a bar on Liverpool’s Fleet Street. Police have now issued CCTV images, hoping to track down a key witness or suspect linked to the attack.
The Attack Happened in the Early Hours of Sunday
The horror unfolded around 1.30am on Sunday, 7 September. The victim was out with friends when she was brutally attacked. Two other people also suffered assaults during the same incident, shocking the city centre.
Officers launched a full-scale investigation, reviewing extensive CCTV footage and questioning witnesses. A 23-year-old woman from Kirkby was arrested on suspicion of assault but has since been bailed under strict conditions.
Police Urge Public to Identify Woman Seen on CCTV
Detectives have released new CCTV images featuring a woman they want to speak with urgently. Detective Sergeant Lee Hearne said:
“This was a serious and unprovoked attack on a young woman out with her friends in our city centre. Everyone should be able to go out and feel safe without fearing such violence.”
“We are appealing for the woman shown in this CCTV footage, or anyone who recognises her, to come forward as they could have vital information.”
