The man was hit over the head with a bottle as he went to inspect the damage
The incident happened at around 5pm on Thursday, June 20, when the male driver returned to his van on Lodge Lane, near the junction of Bentley Road, Toxteth , and discovered his tyres had been slashed. As he checked the damage, he was struck over the head from behind with a bottle, and suffered lacerations to his neck and ear.
Three suspects reportedly fled down Lodge Lane before the victim called police. No items were reported as stolen as the driver had locked the van prior to leaving the vehicle.READ MORE: Live updates as search continues for missing 14-year-old boy after swimming in River MerseyDetective Constable Frankie Massingham said: “This was a violent attempted robbery of a young man going about his daily business, and we are determined to find those responsible and put them before the courts.
