A 31-year-old man who was stabbed in the head in Liverpool city centre is still fighting for his life.
The victim turned up at the Royal Hospital at around 5.30pm on Wednesday ( December 16) with a suspected stab wound to the head.
It is believed he was walking along Hatton Garden, just off Dale Street, when he was assaulted close to the Richmond Hotel.
The area was cordoned off by police and remained closed until Thursday afternoon as detectives carried out a search of the scene.
A number of people in the area have told the ECHO that the victim was pushing a pram when he was attacked.
Witnesses told the ECHO that the incident was "terrifying" and when they saw it they "just ran".
Today police have said that victim is still in a critical but stable condition.
