Detective Chief Inspector Neil Cowdrey said: "Merseyside Police will not tolerate hate crimes, and I want to reassure the local community that we are doing everything in our power to catch these offenders. I would appeal to the driver of the Hackney cab to come forward as he may have information that is vital for the investigation.
“I would also appeal for anyone else who saw what happened, or who has any information, to call us on 0151 777 4564, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
