Teen suffers possible 'life changing' knife injury

Merseyside Police says the boy was attacked at a house party nearby

A teenager rushed into a pub with a "potentially life-changing" arm injury after being attacked with a bladed weapon at a party in a nearby address.

Emergency services were called to the Stanley Arms pub on Roby Road, in Huyton, on Saturday at 00:20 BST.

Merseyside Police said the 18-year-old victim was being treated in hospital while a 17-year-girl suffered a minor hand injury.

The force said the attack was believed to have been carried out with a "bladed weapon" at the party.

'Upsetting'

Det Insp Graeme Osborne said: "Some of those people present may have seen or heard what happened, and indeed know who was involved.

"To have seen this assault will undoubtedly have been upsetting, but we need to gather all information possible."

He said this included "witness accounts, CCTV, or any other footage or images from those present, living or passing nearby".

The force said forensic investigators remained at the scene.
