Police in Liverpool are appealing for CCTV and camera phone footage of an incident outside Anfield football stadium that left Irishman Sean Cox in a critical condition in hospital.
Two Italian men have been charged and remain in custody over the alleged assault - which happened shortly before Liverpool's Champions League semi final against AS Roma on April 24th.
Mr Cox, who had travelled to Merseyside for the match, has undergone surgery in the weeks since and remains in a critical condition in hospital.
This morning, investigators appealed to members of the public to come forward with any information relating to the incident - especially CCTV or mobile footage.
They are particularly interested in anything that may help identify a third man suspected of being involved in the assault.
