“We are determined to bring the culprits to justice and appeal to the public for help in finding the three men we want to question in connection with the incident.

“The images we have from the CCTV are excellent and I am sure there will be somebody out there who can identify these people and lead us to them.

“If you can help us call Merseyside Police on 0151 777 6890 or call Crimestoppers in confidence on 0800 555111.”
