Detectives have now issued a CCTV image of a man who could have information that may assist with their enquiries. Detective Inspector Neil Dillon said: "This was a dangerous and reckless attack that has left the victim seriously injured. Such violence like this will never be tolerated on the streets of Merseyside.

"This incident took place at a time when the nightclub would have been busy with people who might have seen the incident take place. I would urge anyone who saw anything, or has information to please contact us.

"I am also appealing to the man featured in this image, or anyone who recognises him to come forward. We believe they could hold information that could be vital to our continuing enquiries.

"Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact @MerPolCC on Twitter or ‘Merseyside Police Contact Centre’ on Facebook with reference 22000852357. You can also call 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800 555 111, or their online form at Give information | Crimestoppers (crimestoppers-uk.org)."
