Let X be an arbitrary hyperbolic geodesic metric space and let Γ be a countable subgroup of the isometry group Iso(X) of X. We show that if Γ is non-elementary and weakly acylindrical (this is a weak properness condition) then the second bounded cohomology groups Hb2(Γ,R), Hb2(Γ,lp(Γ)) (1∞) are infinite dimensional. Our result holds for example for any subgroup of the mapping class group of a non-exceptional surface of finite type not containing a normal subgroup which virtually splits as a direct product.
