A teenage girl was knocked unconscious in a sickening street attack during a night out.

Gabrielle Walsh, 18, was punched to the floor by a man who swung a punch outside a club in Manchester's gay village during the early hours of last Saturday, July 13.

CCTV footage of the incident shows the moment she was punched before bystanders run to help.

Her friend Kyle McKeown, 18, was also attacked and is seen to collapse onto the road.

Greater Manchester Police have now launched an investigation and are appealing for information after Gabrielle required hospital treatment for an injury to her left eye.

The force released the disturbing video with additional footage of three men running down the street.

Officers say they want to speak to three men who are 'highlighted running from the area'.

Senior Investigating Officer, Constable Ben Lomax, from GMP’s City Centre Division said: “We have released this shocking footage in the hope it helps us identify those responsible for this appealing and cowardly attack.

“Clearly, there were numerous people who not only witnessed this attack but will have seen the three men hastily departing the scene shortly afterwards.

“Several good Samaritans came to the aid of the victims shortly after this attack, for which we are grateful.
