Knife-Wielding Thug Picked The Wrong Lads To Threaten

Liverpool- A masked thug had a gun pulled on him after pulling out a large kitchen knife outside a sports bar.

Shortly after 11pm on Wednesday, two men can be seen on CCTV approaching a group of people outside Parnells in Waterloo. As they approach the sports bar on South Road, one man appears to pull a knife from his trousers and move quickly towards a person standing at the door.

He is quickly grabbed by a number of men and dragged in the door of the bar. The second masked man is then seen trying to hit another member of the group who is standing close to the railings. The man quickly punches him first, they grapple with each other and the masked man runs from the scene.

Moments later, the man with the knife is dragged back out onto the footpath where two men attempt to wrestle the knife from him. As they punch and grab him, one man is seen holding, what appears to be, a gun to him before it quickly disappears from view.

The masked man lost his face covering in the brawl after being repeatedly punched to the head before another man comes out of the bar holding a metal stool. As the man attempts to break free he is smacked to the back with the stool and pulled to the ground.

He is then kicked to the face and body before one man pulls his shoe off him. After a few moments he is let go and he runs from the scene.

Merseyside Police confirmed two men have been arrested following the disturbance.
