Man in his 70s loses teeth in 'cowardly' attack
Police are hoping to speak to this man who detectives believe could help with the investigation
- Published
A man in his 70s suffered an injury to his jaw and lost teeth after what police described as a "cowardly" late night attack in a pub.
The victim was punched in the Ranelagh Tavern on Ranelagh Street in Liverpool city centre at 23:50 BST on Sunday.
Merseyside Police released CCTV images of a man officers are searching for in connection with the investigation and urged anyone who may recognise him to get in touch.
Det Insp Neil Dillon said: "This was a nasty and cowardly assault on a man which left him with a significant injury to his face."
"We believe the bar and the surrounding area would have been busy on Sunday night and that someone might recognise the male in the CCTV images or be able to assist further with our enquiries."
