Cars were covered in blood as neighbours woke up to the news of a serious stabbing.
Merseyside Police confirmed that they were called to reports that a man had been stabbed in the face and leg outside the row of shops on Finch Lane at 1.15am on Tuesday, June 14. Emergency services attended the scene and the victim was taken to hospital for serious but not life-threatening injuries.
According to neighbours living on Colwell Road, the victim stumbled away from the shops and made his way down Colwell Road and round to Altfinch Close, leaving a "trail of blood" behind him. One woman who lives on Colwell Road told the ECHO that her neighbour had to wash her car this morning due to the amount of blood that had been smeared across it.
