Investigators are particularly interested in speaking to a group of girls who are thought to have been in the bar area when the incident took place, the force said.

Detective Chief Inspector Mark Tivendale earlier said the victim had been on a night out with his girlfriend and friends.

"The incident happened in a busy bar in the centre of Liverpool and would have been witnessed by many people," he said.

Emergency services were called to the bar in Wood Street shortly after 1am following a report that a man had been assaulted.
