A man shouting racial slurs hurled a drink at shop workers in Liverpool city centre and tried to assault them.
Merseyside Police has arrested a 31-year-old man following two hate crimes in different parts of the city centre. The first incident took place on Wednesday, April 20, when it was reported that a teenage boy was approached by an unknown man on Park Lane near to the mini roundabout going towards Jamaica Street.
The teenager's mum, Sandra Heap, previously spoke to the ECHO about the incident involving her son Elliott Heap, who was travelling to his GCSE revision class at Liverpool Life Sciences UTC when a man accused him of faking his disability. Police said the man kicked one of Elliott's crutches, directed insulting comments towards him about his disability, and threatened violence towards him.
