A man is in a serious condition after a 'nasty' early morning attack.
At around 2am on Friday, May 13, police officers spotted a member of the public helping an injured man close to the Scarisbrick Hotel on Lord Street, Southport. It has been reported that the man was involved in a verbal altercation before being assaulted by a man and woman who fled the scene.
Paramedics made their way to the town centre before the injured man was taken to hospital to be treated for a head injury. He remains in hospital in a serious but stable condition. CCTV, witness and forensic enquiries into the incident are ongoing and anyone who witnessed the assault, or with any information is asked to contact Merseyside Police.
