Victims of a potential hate crime have rallied together after their business venues were attacked.
On Point, on Eberle Street, and YoYo Hairdressing and So Fine and Design on Leather Lane had their windows smashed last week on Thursday, October 13. The three city centre companies, all beside one another, are LGBTQ+ venues which has caused Merseyside Police to be “mindful that this could be targeted”.
Lynnette Devine, the owner of So Fine and Design, said that the incident will be a “setback” for her company. The costume designer from Toxteth told the ECHO : “It's been really hard after COVID and this is definitely a setback as I'm still trying to pay off things from when I had no income and not enough help during the pandemic.
