A horrified walker saw a gang of "horrible" teenagers 'kick and swing' a cat by its tail.
The incident took place around 6pm on April 23 in Coronation Park, Crosby when a group of three teenage boys and four teenage girls were spotted abusing the animal. An eyewitness, who did not want to be named, said they saw the group attack the cat, and continue to chase after the animal when it attempted to hide.
The teenagers shouted abuse at the witness after they told them to "stop hurting the cat". The witness said: "When we arrived at the park, we only saw the three lads, they didn't seem to be causing any bother.
