A man who got embroiled in a fight on a pavement ended up in the road where he was then hit by a private hire taxi.
The pedestrian, in his 30s, was on Walton Road, close to the Iceland supermarket, when the altercation broke out.
It happened at 11.15pm last night when the area was busy with football fans who had earlier left Goodison Park for Everton's dramatic 2-2 draw with Newcastle.
The man was in crash with a Skoda Octavia private hire taxi.
The driver stopped at the scene and was not arrested by police.
Two women, aged 28 and 53, were arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
The man suffered multiple injuries, to his head and body, and was rushed to hospital.
His condition was described as serious, but not life-threatening.
Police enquiries are ongoing.
Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information which could assist is asked to direct message @MerPolCC on Twitter or call 101 quoting reference 20000046217.
