A teenager was stabbed in the arms and legs as a shocking week of violence rocked a picturesque seaside town.
Around 100 youngsters gathered on Cubbins Green in Caldy, West Kirby, Wirral, on Friday to mark the ends of their exams, but the celebrations were soon marred by what police went on to call a 'reckless stabbing'.
Merseyside Police said it has received three different reports of assaults which took place on Cubbins Green that night. Four teenagers have been arrested in connection with the disorder and a dispersal zone - aimed at preventing crime and anti-social behaviour - was put in place over the weekend.
