Disabled man in tears as he is chased home by thugs who saw him limping

A man was in tears after he was verbally and physically abused as he walked home from the bus stop.

The man was walking down Seaview Road in Liscard Village on Saturday, April 8, at around 8.55pm when he was approached by three people wearing balaclavas. The 39-year-old had been to his friend's home in New Brighton for a chippy dinner before getting the bus back to Liscard and walking home.

But when the group noticed he was limping slightly, they instantly targeted him and followed him through the village, hurling abuse at him. His wife, April, told the ECHO: "He got off the 432 after coming from New Brighton. He got off just at the end of Seaview Road. He started walking past the Duke [of Wellington] pub going round towards Tesco and he mentioned that there were at least three people all in balaclavas and wearing black.
