A man is wanted by police over a hate crime in a Formby supermarket last month.
Officers believe that the man pictured in the image may have information that could help them with their investigation.
The appeal comes after a yob exposed himself to a member of staff at Tesco on Altcar Road.
According to officers, the incident happened at around 6.45pm on Friday, March 26 and is now being treated as a hate crime.
A group of youths entered the store causing a disturbance and throwing items. After a staff member challenged the group, one shouted homophobic abuse and exposed his backside, before leaving the store.
Enquiries have been carried out to identify those involved, including via local schools.
Sergeant Jenni Bowman said: “We think the male pictured have information to assist, so if you know him please come forward.
“For people going about their work in local businesses to be verbally abused and threatened in such a way is despicable, even more so during such testing times, and we’re working hard to find those responsible. You can come forward directly or anonymously via Crimestoppers."
People are asked to be mindful this is a live investigation and not to pass information on via main social media pages, but to contact @MerPolCC on Twitter, ‘Merseyside Police Contact Centre’ on Facebook, or call the independent charity @CrimestoppersUK anonymously on 0800 555 111, with reference 21000193742.
