Two boys have been arrested after a teenager was stabbed in the legs and arm as a large group of young people gathered at a beauty spot.
Merseyside Police received reports that the boy had been stabbed on Cubbins Green in Melloncroft Drive West, Caldy, at around 7.10pm last night (Friday) after he was assaulted by a group of boys. The force said around 100 youths were in the area at the time of the incident, as part of what bystanders described as an end of exams celebration.
The suspects left Cubbins Greens after the incident, and the victim was taken to hospital with stab wounds to his legs and arm, where he remains in a stable condition. Detectives say CCTV footage and videos of the incident show that the victim was assaulted by three boys, including one who was carrying a knife.
