A FEMALE bystander on a Christmas night out was left with facial injuries and permanent nerve damage after being caught in a crossfire between two groups of brawling men in Heebie Jeebies.
At around 2.20am on Tuesday, 29 December, a fight broke out between the two factions at the popular Seel Street nightclub, during which one of the men threw a bottle towards the opposing group. It missed and hit the woman, and causing a deep cut close to her eye and nerve damage to her forehead.
Now Merseyside Police have issued images of five men, captured on CCTV, who they believe can assist with their investigation. Detectives are also appealing to anyone who can shed more light on the incident which they describe as “thankfully rare”.

"Incidents like this are thankfully rare, but we are determined to bring the person responsible to justice and to continue to ensure that law-abiding members of the public feel safe in Liverpool City Centre.”
“We are keen to speak to all of the men pictured to help us in our enquiries and if you know any of these men, I would urge you to contact police immediately.”
