Appeal for information following assault in Croxteth

Detectives are appealing for information following an assault in Croxteth yesterday, Wednesday 10 April.
 
At 5.45pm, emergency services were called to Altcross Road to reports of a road traffic incident involving an off-road motorbike and a pedal-assisted electric bike.
 
It is initially believed that the off-road motorcycle rider deliberately pushed the electric bike rider off his vehicle, before making off down Cubert Road.
 
The rider of the electric bike, a man in his 20s, was taken to hospital with head and facial injuries. He is in a serious but stable condition.
 
Witness, house-to-house and CCTV enquiries are ongoing.
 
Detective Inspector Michael Fletcher said: “Our investigation is in its early stages but we believe that this was a deliberate and extremely reckless act, which resulted in serious and potentially life-changing injuries to the electric bike rider.
 
“We are determined to track down the motorbike rider so if you saw this incident or an off-road motorbike being ridden nearby, or if you live locally and have CCTV, dashcam or doorbell footage, please check and come forward as soon as possible, especially if you are a resident of Cubert Road, where the suspect made off.”
 
You can provide information directly via 101 or @MerPolCC or anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, with reference 24000329650.
