A man suffered serious facial injuries after a gang dragged him out of a flat and then attacked him inside a van in Liverpool.
Merseyside Police said the victim, aged in his 20s, was taken to hospital for treatment after the assault on Picton Road in Wavertree.
After the assault at about 20:55 GMT on Friday, the group of men fled the area and the victim was able to find help from local residents.
The road was temporarily closed while investigations were carried out.
Det Insp Dave Sung urged anyone with any potentially relevant information to come forward.
"We will not tolerate such violence in our communities and we are determined to find the people responsible," he said.
