Police are hunting a group of women they believe are responsible for an attack on a man during a night out.

Today detectives released CCTV footage showing six female suspects, all believed to be in their twenties.

The 38-year-old, who was left with a broken ankle and stiletto-shaped wound on his head, had been on a night out with his girlfriend at the time of the unprovoked assault in Liverpool.The victim can be seen sitting with his girlfriend on Stanley Street, near the Eleanor Rigby statue, at around 2.30am on July 19.

The footage shows the suspects approach from Whitehall before words are exchanged.

The women then launch into a group attack, punching and kicking the man.

The victim now faces months off work due to his injuries, which included a broken ankle that had to be pinned by doctors.
