A man was stabbed in the face and legs during a brutal attack after neighbours heard violent threats being shouted.
Emergency services were called to a property on Fell Street in Seacombe at around 7.30pm following reports a man had been stabbed .
Police and paramedics swarmed the street and erected a cordon around a home in the cul-de-sac.
A 25-year-old man was found with multiple stab wounds to his face and legs before being rushed to hospital by paramedics.
One neighbour said she heard shouting coming from outside the house at the time of the attack.
She told the ECHO : “There was two lads threatening him, saying they were going to burn his house down and screaming at him around the back of the house.
“I could hear screaming and a couple of neighbours went to help him.
“He was bleeding quite badly when they brought him out and police were asking people to move away from the house.
“I hope he’ll be OK, we don’t want stuff like this going on in our street. A lot of kids live around here and they shouldn’t have to see that while they’re out playing.”
Another woman said that two men were seen leaving the street in the direction of the ferry terminal at the bottom of Borough Road East.
A spokesperson for Merseyside Police said: "An investigation is underway after a 25-year-old man suffered stab wounds following an incident at a flat in Wallasey this evening (Monday, 22 July 2019).
Officers were called to Fell Street at around 7.30pm, following a report that a man had sustained stab wounds during an incident at a flat.
"The 25-year-old victim was taken to hospital by ambulance for treatment for injuries to his legs and face, which are not believed to be life threatening.
"CCTV, forensic and witness enquiries are ongoing and detectives are appealing to anyone who was in the area around the time of the incident, or who has any information which may assist the investigation to contact them."
Chief Inspector Chris Joughin, said: "Enquiries are currently underway to establish exactly what happened in the flat, and we believe that there may have been two offenders involved in the attack, who were seen to leave the block of flats on bicycles following the incident.
"When someone takes it upon themselves to use a knife they understand the possible consequences of their actions and I would urge anyone who could help us identify those responsible to come forward so that we can take positive action."
