A raging thug smashed a Shell petrol station night window trying to punch the cashier behind it.

Police today issued CCTV images of a man who could "have vital information" after the violent scenes on the Wirral.

The yob cracked the glass of the night pay kiosk as part of a failed bid to attack the staff member behind the window at the Shell garage in Borough Road in Birkenhead .

Police said the man struck out having earlier argued with other customers and staff.

Fortunately nobody was injured during the shameful scenes just before 11pm on Saturday, December 14.
