A 14-year-old girl suffered a black eye after she was 'attacked by a member of security staff' at Bootle fair.
The teen's mum, who wishes to remain anonymous, said she received the "worst phone call" of her life - telling her that her daughter had been "assaulted". She rushed to the scene to collect her daughter and find out how she had received a black eye.
Officers were called to reports of a fight at the event, on Acorn Way, at around 8.05pm on Monday, April 11. Security staff claimed a gang of teens and young people gathered outside the fair and challenged them and a witness at the scene believed the violence was triggered by a row between girls on the bumper cars.
