After that, a teenager was transported to the hospital he was stabbed in arm in The new ferry. Merseyside Police were called to Merseybank Road shortly after 12.25pm on Saturday (November 9) following reports that a man had been attacked and had injuries to his arm.

The victim, a 15-year-old boy, was taken to hospital to be treated for two stab wounds to the arm. His condition is described as stable. Two men wearing black clothing and balaclava were reported to have left the scene on electric bikes on Napier Road.

‌

A section 60 order has been introduced, giving officers increased powers to stop and search people and minimize further incidents. The order will be valid until Sunday, November 10, at 4:00.

Inquiries remain ongoing, with witnesses being spoken to and CCTV opportunities being explored. detective inspector Paula Jones said: “Our investigations into this incident are at a very early stage, but based on what we know so far, we believe it was a targeted attack. Knife crime has absolutely no place on the streets of Wirral or anywhere in Merseyside and our work to disrupt the activities of those who use, carry and store guns goes on every day of the year.

‌

“Officers will be out this evening across New Ferry and into Rock Ferry to ensure there is a highly visible police presence, to secure communities and deal swiftly with anyone we suspect of intent to commit crime. The Section 60 order gives officers on the ground the ability to stop and search people suspected of carrying weapons or planning any crime.

“We will always look to take positive action when we have information about people storing, carrying or using weapons. So if you want to help us prevent our young people becoming victims of knife crime, give us your information and we’ll do the rest.”

Anyone with information about this incident or who knows anything about knife crime in their area should contact Merseyside Police’s social media office via X @MerPolCC or Facebook “Merseyside Police Contact Centre”.
