A 17-year-old boy was seriously injured after being attacked by a group of men in Liverpool city centre. Police are appealing for witnesses following the incident which occurred on Monday evening.
Detectives say they are determined to find those responsible after a 17-year-old boy was slashed by a gang in Liverpool city centre. Officers were called to the scene at around 6.40pm on Monday, December 30 following a report the victim had been attacked by a number of males. It is believed the incident occurred on Williamson Street and the victim then walked to Whitechapel. Emergency services attended and the victim was taken to hospital for treatment of multiple slash wounds.
He is in a stable condition in hospital, police said. A police helicopter was spotted circling above the scene in the city centre this evening. Forensics were also seen gathering evidence at the scene. A cordon was put in place on Whitechapel outside the Metquarter, with Tesco Express and the Everyman Cinema also within the cordon. The entrance to the Cavern Quarter on Stanley Street was also sealed off, along with a section of Button Street, Williamson Street and Leigh Street. A pile of what appeared to be bloodied tissues and a coat were seen within the police cordon. Chief Inspector Andy Hughes said: “We are in the very early stages of this investigation and officers remain at the scene to establish the circumstances of what happened. “This was a serious assault which could easily have led to even more serious consequences for the victim, who is thankfully recovering in hospital. We are determined to find those responsible and we will always take positive action whenever we receive information on the possession and use of knives and other weapons in the communities of Merseyside. “If you were in the area of Whitechapel earlier this evening and saw or captured anything, please let us know. The smallest detail could prove vital. “Knife crime has no place on the streets of Merseyside and we will continue to do everything in our powers to combat it, bring offenders to justice and remove weapons from our streets, so please come forward and tell us what you kno
