Detective Inspector Jennie Beck said: "We are in the very early stages of an investigation after a teenage boy was assaulted in Liverpool.
"Although an arrest has been made, our enquiries continue, and we’d still urge anyone who witnessed the incident, saw any suspicious behaviour, to please contact us. Either tell us directly or anonymously through Crimestoppers.
"The use of knives and any weapons is reckless and will not be tolerated, and can have devastating consequences, not only for the victim and their family but also for the offenders involved.
"I would urge people to educate themselves and speak to their children and family members about the dangers of knife crime."
