PICTURES released by Merseyside police show some of the young gang police are looking for in connection with a vicious homophobic attack in Liverpool city centre.
The boys – thought to be aged around 12 to 14 – were part of a six-strong group which attacked a 19-year-old gay man on the evening of Wednesday November 18.
They left him covered in blood and needing surgery on a broken nose.
The victim, a Liverpool community college student, was walking up Lord Street towards James Street station shortly before 7pm when he passed the gang of youths outside Tesco.
The group followed him up the street and, when he reached the Pret A Manger sandwich bar, they attacked him from behind, punching him in the back of the head.
They shouted homophobic insults at him during the assault.
The victim suffered cuts and bruises to his head and a broken nose.
