Three suspects have appeared in court in connection with a Liverpool city centre brawl which left two men fighting for their lives.
The 22-year-olds were seriously injured during the incident outside the Shankly Hotel and were rushed to hospital in a critical condition. Troubling video footage of the altercation was subsequently widely circulated on social media, which occurred in the days after Covid restrictions were first lifted following the national lockdown of early 2020.
Three men from St Helens appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday after being charged over the mass brawl. Forty-year-old Andrew Woods, of Roysten Gardens in Peasley Cross, and 39-year-old Michael Parr, of Broadway in Thatto Heath, both pleaded not guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm and affray.
