Police are appealing for the public’s help to trace two girls over a series of unprovoked assaults in Birmingham city centre.

It’s understood they attacked a cleaner in McDonalds, Stephenson Place at around midnight on 15-16 December, plus a man who came to the woman’s aid.

A statement from West Midlands Police, read: “We believe they went on to attack two women in Smallbrook Queensway, pulling them to the floor by their hair, punching one in the face and stamping on another while she was on the ground.

“Three teenagers were involved in the assaults. We’ve already identified and arrested one suspect, aged 17, but we’re asking for your help to find these two.

“These were nasty, unprovoked assaults on people enjoying a night out and we need to trace them.”

If you think you recognise them get in touch with West Midlands Police.
