Homeless man ends up in hospital after pair beat him up for no reason
Two people are being hunted by police after they set upon a homeless man as he sat outside a corner shop.
They kicked and punched him in an attack so savage that he ended up in hospital as a result of his injuries.
The homeless man, who is in his 40s, was outside Booze and MOre on County Road, Liverpool, at around 4.25pm on Friday December 18 when the assault took place.
Security footage from the area show a man and woman who police are now trying to trace in connection with the incident.
Detectives say the victim was kicked and punched by two people from a group outside the convenience store.
Such was the severity of what police described as an unprovoked and brutal attack, the victim needed hospital treatment for injuries to his back, head and arm.
Merseyside Police believe the two people captured on CCTV may have information about the attack at around 4.25pm on Friday, December 18.
Detective Constable Matthew Carlson said: ‘We think the man and woman pictured may have vital information to assist our enquiries, so if you know who they are please come forward.
‘This was a brutal and unprovoked attack which caused the victim distress and injuries which left him in hospital.’Violence will never be tolerated and we will take action to find those responsible and put them before the courts.’
