A man is in hospital after being stabbed in the face in a Walton street attack.
North West Ambulance Service found the victim with wounds to his face and back at the junction of Olney Street and Breeze Hill just after 5am on Saturday (July 18).
The man in his 20s was taken to hospital where he remains in a stable condition.
Merseyside Police confirmed that they have since arrested a 36-year-old from Liverpool on suspicion of section 18 wounding with intent.
He was taken to a police station in the local area where he remains in custody.
Chief Inspector Andrew McCourt said: “An investigation has been launched after a man has been left with serious wounds to his face and back in Walton.
“Although we have made an arrest, our enquiries into this violent offence are still ongoing and our detectives are carrying out house-to-house, CCTV and forensic enquiries.
“Therefore, I urge people in the area to check your doorbell and dashcam footage to see if it has captured anything suspicious, no matter how small it is any information may help with the investigation.
“Knives have no place in our communities and can have tragic consequences, not only for the victim and their family but also for the offenders involved.
“We will continue to make enquiries until all those who are involved in this incident are prosecuted and brought to justice.”
