McDonald's staff being harassed, assaults on emergency workers, and police officers being called homophobic slurs are among incidents recorded in Birkenhead over the past six months.
Drunken anti-social behaviour continues to be a big problem in the town centre with more than 300 arrests, violent crimes, and anti-social behaviour recorded between February and August this year.
A report on drunk behaviour by Merseyside Police details harassment of staff at the McDonald's on Grange Road, a couple threatened with being glassed, and bakery staff threatened with being stabbed. People in the community said they had seen drinkers often “urinating against walls or in bushes” as well as large groups of “youths with balaclavas.”
