A gang of thugs filmed the shameful moment their pal fly-kicked an elderly man into a river. The moment the 74-year-old man was kicked into the River Mersey was captured in disturbing footage of the sickening act.
The clip shows the pensioner standing on the bank of the Mersey when he is kicked with force from behind by a man dressed in a black gilet.
The elderly man can be seen falling face first into the water as the thug flees from the scene near Riverside Retail Park during the incident on Sunday.
