A pair of armed robbers stormed a city centre Irish bar in an early hours attack where they burst in swinging sledgehammers at terrified staff.
At around 1.10am on Sunday, April 28, two men forced their way into Shenanigans on Tithebarn Street carrying sledgehammers.
They threatened a member of staff and swung the weapons, resulting in a minor arm injury, and managed to get in to the pub's safe.
The pair only made off with a small amount of cash, before it is believed they got into a dark car parked outside and sped off onto Leeds Street.
Detectives from Merseyside Police have now issued an appeal for information following the armed robbery, with CCTV, forensic and witness enquiries ongoing.
Detective Inspector Graeme Towndrow s aid: “This would have been a shocking incident to witness, which resulted in fear and injury to the member of staff involved.
"To force your way into a business and make threats and attempt serious violence is desperate and despicable, and we are determined to find those responsible and put them before the courts.
