Early-morning workers were "shocked" to be met with a police cordon outside a pub as they arrived at their jobs this morning.
The usually quiet Liverpool Road in Ainsdale has been cordoned off since Friday evening, February 24, after Merseyside Police received a report that a man was assaulted.
The assault took place outside Champs at 10.30pm and the victim, a man in his 30s, has been taken to hospital where he is in serious but stable condition.
