A schoolgirl said she's "terrified" to make her own way to school after her friend was assaulted.
The parent of a pupil in Lord Derby Academy, on Seel Road, Huyton, said a gang of teenage boys had been targeting schoolchildren. Police confirmed that, at around 3.10pm on Monday, July 10, they were called to reports of a gang of teenagers on bikes spraying children. Merseyside Police said tests had confirmed the substance was soap and water.
They also confirmed they were called to an incident at 8.15am, on Cavendish Walk, after a girl was sprayed by a gang of teens on bikes. She was taken to hospital as a precaution. A 15-year-old boy, from Huyton, has since been arrested on suspicion of assault and was taken to hospital for further assessment. He has since been released on conditional bail.
