A goose will have to be put down after reportedly being attacked by a gang.
Merseyside Police received reports of a gang of youths attempting to injure geese along Brook Street in St Helens on March 22. A police community support officer and the RSPCA were called to scene following reports of an injured bird.
After assessing its injuries, it was determined that the goose would have to be euthanised due to its poor condition.
