Merseyside Police detectives are issuing a CCTV image of a man we wish to speak to after a man in his 60s was assaulted outside a Bootle pub in August.
At around 7pm on Saturday, 12 August, the victim was punched at a side doorway of the Mayflower public house in The Palantine, Bootle New Strand.
The victim was taken to hospital after reporting the incident the following morning and received stiches to a wound in his head.
Following extensive enquiries, a CCTV image of a man who may have information to assist their enquiries.
Detective Chief Inspector Gayle Rooney said: “This appears to have been an unprovoked assault which has resulted in a head injury and a long term impact on the victim due to the level of violence involved.
“We are still trying to establish the exact circumstances and want to hear from anyone who was in or outside the premises at the time, or the man pictured, who we think may have valuable information. It was busy in the pub at the time, and someone may have seen the incident itself or know who this man is.
“We are relentless in pursuing anyone involved in violence, and ensuring that they are put before the courts. I can assure people that information will be acted upon.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact 101 quoting incident number 0517205814 or you can leave information anonymously and for free on 0800 555 111.
