Four women were taken to hospital after collapsing and passing out in a city centre pub in what they suspect was a spiking incident.
Ella Shields, 20, said she and her friends Ellie, Anna and Meg were at Bierkeller, in Liverpool ONE, for roughly four hours on Saturday, March 19, before one of the group collapsed in the bar's toilets and had to be carried outside. At first they assumed she was feeling the effects of alcohol, but Ella said the girl who collapsed had drunk less than her friends who all still felt "fine".
An hour later, the music student said her own legs started to feel weak and she felt like she was having a panic attack, so she reached for a chair before passing out, all within the space of "a minute". She later woke up in an ambulance to the sound of strangers' voices and the feeling of a prick to her finger.
