Detective Chief Inspector Steve Ball said: “The use of knives to inflict serious injury and worse in Merseyside is simply not acceptable. The carrying and use of knives can have tragic consequences, not only for the victim and their family but for the offenders involved too.
“Not only do those carrying knives risk being brought to justice for their crime, they stand a greater risk of becoming a victim of knife crime themselves. I would urge people to educate themselves and speak to their children and family members about the dangers of knife crime.”
