A man remains in hospital after a fight broke out at a car wash in Liverpool on Sunday, July 5. Emergency services were called to Long Lane Hand Car Wash in Fazakerley around 6.35pm following a report of a group of men fighting.
Injury and Hospitalization
Merseyside Police officers arrived to find a man in his 20s with a "puncture wound" to his back. He was taken to hospital where he remains in a stable condition. The suspects fled the area before officers arrived, with an investigation now underway to find those involved.
Witness Video and Forensic Evidence
In a video seen by the ECHO, a group of men can be seen fighting at the car wash before they are chased away while muffled shouting can be heard from the men. When the ECHO attended the scene following the incident, surrounded by various industrial estates, forensic officers had bagged several items from the car wash, including what appeared to be two shovels. A small cordon remained at the entrance of the car wash while the scene was investigated. The scene has since been removed.
