CCTV appeal after man left for dead in brutal homophobic attack in Manchester city centre

Police investigating a homophobic assault which left a 22-year-old man with serious head and facial injuries have released CCTV images of a man and woman detectives want to speak to. Morgan Fevre, from Didsbury, was taken to Manchester Royal Infirmary from Manchester city centre, then transferred to Salford Royal Hospital for emergency surgery to save his life.

He suffered a bleed to the brain as well as a severely fractured cheekbone and eye socket. He was also left with three broken teeth and a badly broken nose, which was fractured in four places.

The Manchester Evening News reported in April how Morgan had moved to Manchester from Retford, Nottinghamshire, because of the city's 'inclusivity'. His father, Paul Fevre, said his son was approached by a man who made mocking comments about an item of clothing he was wearing. He said the thug then abused Morgan with a vile homophobic slur before attacking him.
