Original release

Detectives have arrested seven men and are continuing to appeal for information following a serious assault in Liverpool City Centre in the early hours of yesterday morning, Saturday 14 August.

Just after 1am, emergency services were called to Bold Street reports that a man was unconscious on the floor on Bold Street near to Central Station. Officers raced to the scene and gave first aid until paramedics attended. The 24-year-old man, who comes from Northern Ireland, was taken to hospital where he is being treated for serious head injuries. His condition remains critical but stable.

It is believed that the victim was walking down Bold Street towards Hanover Street with three friends when they were assaulted.

Following extensive enquiries, a 40-year-old man from Pontypridd was arrested on suspicion of Section 18 assault and possession with intent to supply Class A drugs. 

Six other men, aged between 33 and 41 and from South Wales, have also been arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, in relation to suspected cocaine found in a hotel room.

The investigation continues and enquiries and detectives are still keen to speak to any taxi drivers from the nearby Hackney cab rank on Hanover Street, in case they have vital dashcam footage.

Detective Chief Inspector Paul Parry, said: “Although several arrests have been made, our investigation continues are we’d still like to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident or has any CCTV, dashcam or other information.
