Police are hunting two men who racially attacked a postman in Billinge - the 33-year-old, who is of South American origin, was attacked on Main Street in Billinge on Saturday (January 17) at around 2pm.
He was walking down the footpath between Recreation Drive and Main Street when two men and youth approached from the opposite direction and punched him in the face and back as they passed him.

When the victim fell to the ground they kicked him and subjected him to racial abuse, and when he tried to get up they punched him in the back of the head. He received injuries to his face and abdomen.

One of the offenders attempted to steal the victim's mailbag before running away in the direction of Recreation Drive. The other two offenders ran away in the direction of Main Street.

The first offender is described as white, in his mid-20s, of stocky build, around 5ft 7in with short dark brown hair and was wearing a red T-shirt with a light blue waist length jacket and black tracksuit bottoms.

The second offender is described as white, early 20s, around 5ft 9in with blond hair and was wearing a white T-shirt with brown paint splattered on the chest and dark tracksuit bottoms.

The last offender is described as white, between 14 and 16 years old, of slim build with cropped dark hair and was wearing a white hooded jacket with white tracksuit bottoms.

Merseyside Police ask that anyone who saw the attack or who has any information, call detectives on 0151 777 6080/6060/6063 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Sad indicment of the type of society we now find ourselves in due to the do-gooders preventing proper justice for those whov'e been wronged by these scroats
