A 16-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following a stabbing.

A 21-year-old man was found injured on Church Street in Liverpool at about 20:55 BST on Thursday 22 August, with police saying he had been involved in an argument with seven young males.

He was taken to hospital but later released.

The force has renewed appeals for information, saying it was "relentless" in its aim to remove dangerous weapons from the streets.

Detective Inspector Neil Dillon said: “We are also asking for anyone who recorded the incident on their mobile phone to share the footage with us so we can continue to make progress with our investigation."
