Police hunt Primark knife attacker

Shoppers watched in horror as a security guard staggered through a Primark store on Merseyside after he was stabbed.

The 43-year-old victim was attacked by a knifeman at a branch of cut-price clothing chain in Wallasey yesterday (WEDS).

Police and an ambulance crew answered 999 calls to the branch in Liscard Way at around 11.15am.

The security guard was taken to Arrowe Park Hospital where his condition was described as "stable."

The knifeman escaped on foot through the Cherry Tree Shopping Centre and CCTV images were being scanned for clues to his identity.

He is described only as a white man, around 5ft 10in to 5ft 11in tall and of stocky build. He had short cropped dark hair and stubble.

He was wearing a dark Addidas zip up jacket with a gold Addidas emblem and black combat style trousers. He had a Mancunian accent.

Police say the motive for the attack is unclear. Anyone who witnessed the incident or who has any information is asked to contact 0151 777 2263 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
