A 24-year-old man is in a serious but stable condition in hospital after being stabbed in Wallasey on Sunday night.

As reported by the Wirral Globe, police were called to Poulton Road at around 10:50 pm on September 13, after reports that a man had been stabbed by two other men were made.

The man was stabbed inside a premises on the road. After the stabbing, the two offenders escaped in a dark-coloured saloon-type vehicle, heading in the direction of Gorsey Lane.

The victim had two stab wounds from the incident, to his arm and to his head. An investigation is underway, and CCTV and forensic enquiries are now being carried out.

Detective Inspector Phil Ryan said: "Extensive enquiries are being carried out to catch the perpetrators, and I would appeal to anyone who was in the vicinity of Poulton Road and had seen or heard anything to come forward and speak to us.

"I also urge people in the area to check your CCTV and dashcam footage to see if it has captured any footage, no matter how small, as any information may help with the investigation."

Detective Inspector Ryan added: "Reducing knife crime is a priority all year round in Merseyside. We are committed to proactively use stop and search powers, carry out open land searches, warrants and education work alongside partners to remove weapons from the streets."

Mr Ryan condemned the use of "knives and any weapons", calling it "reckless".
