Liverpool and Leicester Assault Probes Advance With New Arrests as Victims Remain Critical

Police renew appeals for witnesses, video evidence, cooperation.

Overview

  • West Derby, Liverpool: a 33-year-old man suffered serious head injuries outside the Hare and Hounds around 12:45 a.m. and remains in a critical condition at Aintree Hospital.
  • Members of the public performed CPR on the Liverpool victim before emergency services arrived, an effort police publicly praised.
  • Merseyside Police arrested a 39-year-old at the scene, later arrested a 43-year-old, and confirmed a 24-year-old initially detained has been released with no further action, all originally linked to suspected Section 18 assault.
  • Leicester: a man in his twenties remains in hospital in a critical but stable condition a week after the Horsefair Street attack, with three arrests made so far.
  • Leicestershire Police say others were involved in the Leicester incident, and both forces are conducting forensic work, trawling CCTV, carrying out house-to-house inquiries, and urging anyone with CCTV, dashcam, or mobile footage to come forward.
