Two men were discovered with injuries on a street in Formby following a violent incident that has prompted a police investigation. The assault occurred on Three Tuns Lane in Formby Village late on Friday, March 7, with authorities alerted at approximately 11.20pm.
Serious Injuries Reported
Merseyside Police confirmed that a man in his 30s was found with significant injuries to his head and body. He was transported to hospital for urgent medical attention and remains in a serious but stable condition. A second man, also in his 30s, sustained minor injuries and has since been discharged from hospital.
Police Appeal for Information
Detective Inspector Sarah Wilkinson stated that investigators are working to establish the exact circumstances of the assault. "We are still piecing together exactly what happened and why," she said. "At this early stage, I'd urge any witnesses who have not yet come forward to do so as soon as possible."
The police have emphasized their determination to identify those responsible and are requesting public assistance. They are particularly interested in obtaining any CCTV, dashcam, or doorbell footage from the area around the time of the incident.
Location and Cordon
The incident occurred near the Wall of Fame bar on Three Tuns Lane. A substantial police cordon remains in place as forensic examinations continue.
