Police have arrested a woman after "damaging" videos of two people having sex in Concert Square were shared online.
A number of r ecordings began circulating earlier this week appearing to show a man and a woman having sex and performing sex acts yards from the entrance of Einstein Bier Haus and in full view of bystanders. Other clips have also emerged showing the pair appearing to have sex on Bold Street and on a Merseyrail train service.
Earlier today Liverpool mayor Joanne Anderson slammed the behaviour as "damaging and criminal". Superintendent Diane Pownall, of Merseyside Police Liverpool Community Policing team, also shared a strongly worded statement on the incident and said the pair are 'wanted'.
