It is the sort of shocking image more likely to be seen in a violent American television crime show.
The clues left by a footprint embedded in the head of a robbery victim would be enough to have the forensic experts from the popular Crime Scene Investigation series homing in on the perpetrator.

And, far from the show’s glamorous recreations of Las Vegas and Miami, detectives in Salford are hoping the same methods will lead them to the brutal robbers who left pub landlord Johnathan Robinson needing emergency surgery.

Mr Robinson, 33, was attacked and run over by his own car as he left the Golden Lion pub with £2,500 of takings.

As he lay on the ground with a broken leg a thug viciously stamped on his head before seizing the cash.

Last night police said the clear imprint of the trainer or boot could lead to the arrest of the four-strong gang.
