The Home Secretary has branded an attack that left a young woman with a broken jaw in four places as “appalling”.
Priti Patel condemned the assault following a question in the House of Commons from Weaver Vale MP Mike Amesbury, whose constituency spans the entry to Trident Park in Runcorn where the 20-year-old victim was set upon by youths with kicks and punches at around 9.50pm on Saturday, May 14.
During a parliamentary debate on Monday over the Government’s Public Order Bill, Mr Amesbury referred to the attack as he criticised the Conservatives’ record on policing numbers.
