Police have released images of three men they want to speak to after an attack in Liverpool city centre.
The victim was assaulted inside Baa Bar at around 1.30am on Wednesday, November 30. Security staff kicked the group out of the bar but a further attack then took place along Wood Street.
The suspects ran from the scene soon after the attack, leaving the victim in need of medical treatment. CCTV and witness enquiries are ongoing and detectives have issued images of three men they believe could assist with their investigation.
