Man 'kicks' teen's crutches in hate crime
Around 10am on Wednesday, April 20, it was reported a teenage boy was approached by an unknown man on Park Lane in the city centre near to the mini roundabout going towards Jamaica Street. The victim, Elliott Heap, was travelling to his GCSE revision class at Liverpool Life Sciences UTC when the hate crime occurred.
The 15-year-old, from Ainsdale, was diagnosed with ME, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome, in February last year - a condition which can affect his balance and leaves him feeling dizzy, meaning he needs crutches to get around. Police said the suspect kicked one of Elliott's crutches, directed insulting comments towards him about his disability, and threatened violence towards him.
Elliot's mum Sandra, 54, told the ECHO: "He was just walking through on his way to UTC and this gentleman suddenly started shouting at him saying 'you don't need those crutches.'
"Elliot carried on walking and the gentleman then chased at him, kicked one of the crutches out of his hand and then flew at him. Elliott said he stepped back and the gentleman was screaming at him. He said 'I'm going to kill you. I'm going to murder you if I see you again.'"

"We have now issued moving footage of a man as we believe he could have information that may prove vital to our enquiries. We believe the man may be from outside the Merseyside area." Footage of the attack can be seen above.

"If you recognise this man, or witnessed any part of the incident, then do let us know as any information you hold could prove vital in our efforts to bring those responsible to justice."
