Witness Appeal - Assault, Litherland

Merseyside Police detectives are appealing for witnesses after a man was assaulted at a pub in Litherland last night, Saturday 17 September. At around 10.45pm, a call was received stating that a man in his 40s had been stabbed at the Jubilee Inn on Hatton Hill Road. Police and the ambulance service attended the location and found a man with a slash wound to his neck. He was taken to hospital where his condition is being assessed, but his injuries are believed to be non life-threatening. The suspect is described as white, in his 30s, of medium build, with a tattoo on the inside of his forearm. He was wearing a dark t-shirt, grey Adidas bottoms, and dark Nike 110 trainers. CCTV and forensic enquiries are ongoing this morning. Detective Inspector Robbie Moss from Sefton CID said: “This was a serious assault which could so easily have resulted in life-threatening injuries. We are particularly keen to speak to anyone in and around the pub last night who saw the incident or the men involved during the evening. This initially appears to have been a targeted attack, within a group of friends drinking at the pub. “The pub was busy around the time of the attack and I have no doubt that some of those customers may recognise the man responsible from the description or have information which will be vital in bringing him to justice.” Anyone with information is asked to call Sefton CID on 0151 777 3834, call 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
