A gang reportedly asked a man to pay for protection for him and his family on a derelict housing estate.
People living on Primrose Court in Huyton are scared to go outside due to daily threats of violence and racial abuse. Khaled Baleid, 59, was left with a broken nose and two black eyes after recently being attacked on his driveway with a metal pole.
The amount of empty homes on Primrose Court have also become a target for arson and fly-tipping in recent years, with rubbish piled high in back gardens and outside in the street. A TikTok of the derelict housing estate went viral in January and was viewed more than five million times in the space of 24 hours.
