Reports emerged of a horrific racist attack in Liverpool after the victim posted a heartbreaking account of her ordeal online.
The victim, who is black, said she feared dying after being attacked by a group of white men.
In a video widely shared on social media, he described getting stamped on his face and called “monkey” and the N word.
He showed cuts to his head and tongue that were sustained in the attack in the video, which included the caption: “How I was racially assaulted by five white guys in Liverpool.”
The video has been viewed more than 500,000 times on Twitter alone since it was shared on Monday.
Music artist Wretch 32 and Love Island winner Amber Rose Gill are among those who have since shown support for the victim, and the video prompted calls for an investigation into the attack.
In it, the victim recalled being thrown to the ground and said: “They looked like good boys, they were dressed up to go out, but they started trampling my face.
“They called me monkey, they called me the N word, they called me [N word] but they all started kicking me in the face anyway. It was so painful that they kept kicking my face. And then I passed out while they kicked me and then I woke up and they were still kicking me and so anyway they started kicking my legs, just kicking my legs, I don’t know what the plan was, just stomping on them, stomping on them, stomping on them. “

The man said his attackers stole money, his backpack and his second phone before he got up and fled while bleeding.
He added: “I ran away through Liverpool city center and kept thinking I was going to die.”
Sharing more details on Instagram, the victim said she had been drinking in Liverpool city center at 4pm on Sunday and decided to try to book a room in a city center hotel.
He said: “On my way up the hotel stairs to the reception, a group of five white men pushed me from behind. I tripped and hit my head on the stairs.
“I passed out for a second, then the five guys turned me around and faced me, then they constantly stepped in my face.”
He said they later hurled racist insults at him while kicking his face and legs.
When he managed to escape, he fled through Concert Square but passed out on Bold Street. She said no one helped when she got up and made it to a train station while bleeding and crying.

He said: “At the train station, a nice white boy with his wife were the only people who helped me.”
Naming them Emma and Dale, he used his Instagram to thank the couple, who looked after him on the train and helped him charge his phone and reached out to his mom.
He said he fainted again upon arrival in Manchester and was taken to hospital, where an X-ray revealed a broken bone under one of his eyes.
The victim added: “Unfortunately, my tongue was torn and a patch of skin on my tongue was ripped off, so I can’t eat, just shakes and shakes for weeks. My face is swollen now even worse, but I’m very lucky to not having done it. ” Don’t break any major bones or even have a brain bleed. “
He said it was the first time he had been attacked and subjected to racist abuse, and that the incident had left him afraid to leave for Liverpool. Completing his message, he said: “For those of color coming out in Liverpool be careful.”
The man did not mention the location of the horrific assault, but said the staircase did not have closed-circuit television.
In the video, he said he had been contacted by people asking to share his story and said he approved it “because I don’t think people should go through this.”
ECHO understands that Merseyside Police and Greater Manchester Police learned of the video.
