A van was "deliberately set alight" outside a shop before a shop worker was "assaulted", police have confirmed.
Emergency services rushed to Fountains Road in Kirkdale at around 10.26pm on Friday, July 8, following reports of a van fire. A large section of the road was cordoned off by police as fire crews got to work on putting out the blaze.
Today, July 9, Merseyside Police has issued an urgent appeal for information following the arson attack. After a van was set alight it is believed that two males entered Jim’s News on Fountains Road and threw items around the store before assaulting a member of staff.
