Two police officers were assaulted after trying to detain a youth
Merseyside police have arrested a teenager after two of their officers were assaulted in West Derby this afternoon. At around 5.50pm, on Thursday 31 October, officers attended Town Row to reports of a large group of youths congregating. A staff member at the local Co-op told The ECHO: 'I didn’t see it but I heard a kid had head butted a policeman. Kids are getting worse and worse.
He has been taken to a police station for questioning. A road closure is in place on Town Road and officers are continuing to carry out enquiries at the scene. Anyone who saw the incident is asked to contact @MerPolCC, 101 and Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 with reference 796. Police have set up dispersal zones across Merseyside to allow them to move on trouble makers, including one in West Derby , and most of them are due to come to an end on Friday evening.
