CCTV images have been released of two men wanted in connection with a stabbing inside a Birkenhead pub.

Police were called to the Waterloo public house on Grange Road East on Sunday after a 24-year-old man was found in the toilets with what is believed to be a stab wound to the leg.

He told officers that he believed the incident happened while he had been standing close to the pub's pool table between 10pm-10.30pm.

He was taken to the Royal Liverpool Hospital where he was treated for a small wound to the rear of his right upper leg and discharged.

CCTV and forensic opportunities are being explored and an investigation is ongoing.

Detective constable Nick Moore said: "Enquiries are ongoing to establish what has taken place.

"We have images of two men who were in the pub on the night of the incident who we would like to speak to and we would appeal to those men to come forward and speak to our officers.

"I would also ask anyone who was in the pub on the evening of Sunday 1 May who may have any information which could assist us to get in touch.”

Witnesses can call police on 0151 777 2227 / 2264 or the confidential Crimestoppers line on 0800 555 111.
