A schoolboy was stabbed in the face in the second knife attack in St Helens in less than four weeks.
Police were called to Westfield Street in St Helens at around 7.45pm on Sunday April 2 following reports that a 15-year-old had been "stabbed in the head", leaving him with serious facial injuries. A 16-year-old boy has since been arrested on suspicion of section 18 wounding, and remains in custody.
People in the town centre have described a chaotic scene with police scrambling to Westfield Street, on an otherwise quiet Sunday evening.
