A bar manager rescued a young boy from a man on a machete rampage before chasing the suspect and trying to save others.
Carl Baines, assistant manager of the famous Arkles Pub on the corner of Anfield Road and Arkles Lane, Anfield, was collecting glasses when he saw a heavy-set man carrying a large machete outside at around 5.30pm on Thursday night (August 11). The man, believed to have been suffering severe mental health problems, was at the beginning of a horrific rampage which left four people in hospital with serious injuries including three men aged 20, 40 and 48 and a 62-year-old woman.
The child, aged eight, was cycling home when he was attacked along Arkles Lane. He ducked at the last moment and escaped with a small graze where the machete nicked the back of his head.
