A Wirral man was stabbed in a Wallasey park yesterday morning.

Police were called to Central Park at around 8am where they found a man in his early 20s with minor puncture wounds to his upper chest and shoulder.

He was attended by paramedics in nearby Deveraux Drive and taken to hospital for treatment.

An area of the park was cordoned off to allow a forensic search and a house in Deveraux Drive has also been searched.

Enquiries are continuing to try to establish a motive for the attack.
