Police CCTV appeal over 'serious assault'

Police have released a CCTV image of a man they believe could have information about what they described as a "serious assault" outside a pub.

A man in his 20s was reported to have been attacked outside The Black Horse pub on County Road, Liverpool, at about 23:20 GMT on Friday, Merseyside Police said.

The victim went home but was later taken to hospital by paramedics and remained in a critical condition, the force added.

Detectives are appealing for the man in the CCTV to come forward.

Det Insp Dave Jones said: "Our inquiries are ongoing into this incident and we are now releasing an image of a man who we think could have information about what happened.

"If you recognise yourself in this image, or you know who this is, please let us know as soon as possible."

The force also asked people who were in the area on Friday night and saw what happened to contact police "as a matter of urgency".
