An eyewitness has told of the terrifying moment he saw a woman surrounded by a pool of blood after a vicious machete attack.
Multiple streets in Anfield were sealed off tonight (August 11) after Merseyside Police received reports of a man shouting at people and carrying a machete. Officers were first called to Arkles Lane just after 5.30pm.
The man, who is believed to have mental health issues, had slashed several victims on Utting Avenue and Ince Avenue. The machete was then dumped in Anfield Cemetery before he was detained by Merseyside police in Stanley Park.
