Schoolchildren forced to walk past crime scene after man stabbed in alleyway

Children were hurried by their parents past a cordoned off street where a man was stabbed by a gang of thugs.

Merseyside Police cordoned off a residential street full of families after a man was stabbed a number of times in a vicious Halloween attack. Police were called to an alleyway off Espin Street, Walton, at around 11.10pm on Monday, October 31 after receiving reports of a serious assault.

Officers found the man in the alleyway before rushing him to hospital for treatment for "serious" injuries. Detectives confirmed the injuries are not believed to be life threatening. Today the street, just yards away from Goodison Park, remained cordoned off, while a secondary cordon was also in place in the alleyway where the attack happened.
