Police are investigating after a video emerged appearing to show a Grand National racegoer deliberately knocking over an elderly man.
The video is believed to have been made outside the racecourse in Aintree where around 150,000 people attended the event.
In the footage, a racegoer walks along the pavement before knocking into the victim, who then falls to the ground.
Onlookers are heard gasping and seen rushing to the pensioner's aid before an ambulance is called.
The video appears to have been made by a friend of the racegoer and he shouts "text bomb" and "is there any need?" just moments before the incident, as he sniggers from behind his phone.
A Merseyside Police spokesman said officers are treating the incident as an assault and appealed for help in finding the victim.
"Merseyside Police has been made aware of a video showing a man shoulder-barging another, older man, over in a road near to the Aintree racecourse," he said.
"The incident is being treated as assault and officers are speaking to several people believed to have further information that could help the investigation.
"Inquiries are also being carried out to establish exactly when and where the incident occurred and checks are being made with local hospitals to see if further information can be found out about the victim and what his condition is now.
"We are grateful to the people who reported this video to us and we will endeavour to update them once further enquiries by officers have been made. "We would continue to welcome any information from anyone who witnessed the incident itself on 101. "
Earlier, police said the annual race had seen no arrests over its three-day course, thanking the public for making the event such a "safe and enjoyable occasion".
