A gang riding bikes attacked people by a row of shops in Norris Green yesterday. At around 2.40pm on Sunday, March 22, Merseyside Police received a report of a fight, involving a group of men on bikes hitting several people with bats, on Scargreen Avenue.
When officers arrived and searched the area, the group had left. Police are now appealing for people with information about what happened to come forward. One man said the incident took place near the row of shops at the corner of Utting Avenue East. This is known locally as The Strand.
He told the ECHO yesterday: “It happened right in front of me and in front of the Local Zone shop. It was mayhem.
“I finished work and walked past it.”
The man claimed he saw several “young lads” in the area threatening each other with knives, at around 2.35pm to 2.45pm.
However, a spokesperson for Merseyside Police said they had received no reports that knives were seen or had been used during the incident.
