Merseyside Police are today (Monday, June 26), continuing to appeal for information following the disturbance at the bar in Liverpool.

An investigation into the incident remains ongoing.

Detective Inspector Katie Coote said: "I would ask anyone who was in the area of Mathew Street on Saturday night who saw anything or captured anything significant on their mobile phone to contact us.

"We simply will not tolerate such violence on our streets.  Liverpool is one of the safest cities in the UK – it has been awarded Purple flag status for over a decade and you are far more likely to enjoy a safe and enjoyable night out than witness or experience appalling incidents such as this. If you have any information, please come forward and help keep our streets safe."
