IN RESPONSE to the story about the alleged assault on a 94-year-old war veteran in Church Square.

I led a group of runners preparing for the St Helens 10k through there on a night and every time we got near there we were abused by these kids.

A massive group hang out around McDonald’s and Church Square, they step out in front of you to block your way and scream insults.

Their language is disgusting.
