Man is stabbed in Primark store

A 43-year-old man has been stabbed at a fashion clothes store in Wirral.

Police were called to the Primark store on Liscard Way, Wallasey, late on Wednesday morning and found the victim with a stab wound.

He is in hospital, where his condition is stable. The attacker ran off through Cherry Tree shopping centre.

A Merseyside police spokesman said the motive for the attack is unclear. Patrols have been stepped up and officers are speaking to witnesses.

The offender was white, about 5ft 10in to 5ft 11in tall and stocky build. He had short cropped dark hair and stubble.

He was wearing a dark zip up jacket with a gold Adidas emblem and black combat style trousers, and spoke with a Mancunian accent. "

Primark guard stabbed in Liscard attack


A SECURITY guard was stabbed in broad daylight at a busy store.

Horrified onlookers rushed to help the man, named locally as Keith, after the attack at Primark in Liscard Way, Wallasey, yesterday morning.

The victim is currently in a stable condition in Arrowe Park Hospital.

One worker at the Cherry Tree Shopping Centre, which has an adjoining entrance to the store, said: “Keith was standing in the middle of the shop when a man came up behind him.

“He seemed to hit him in the back but Keith didn’t fall or anything, he was surprised at first but it was only when he put his hand to his back that he saw the blood.

“At first he didn’t realise he had been stabbed, but another security guard came over and started giving him first aid and the ambulance was called.

“I didn’t see the man who did it.

“The paramedics arrived and the police sealed everywhere off, they’ve been searching the bins around the area for a weapon and they even had the helicopter up looking for him.”

THE WIRRAL NEWS

So it was a planned attack, and not a fumbled robbery

Theres gonna be more to this than just a random stabbing...

I'm amazed the guy didn't realise he'd been stabbed!

If this is a revenge attack then regardless of what the victim has done,the attacker is nothing short of a coward with 1).attacking a person with a knife,2). attacking a person from behind.This should not happen wether it`s in a different part of the country or on our own doorstep.Knife crime is becoming far too common.

Glad to hear the s.guard going to be ok although being nosy, i really hope we get to find out more about this- motive, intent etc
Of course i cant speculate- here at least....

I can't post everything I'd like to on this but it does seem personal. This was the first time he'd seen this lad however the way the attack took place makes it look like he'd planned it, he made sure the Primark staff were out of the view before hand and spoke to the guard prior to the attack but not in a malicious manner and Keith didn't know he had been stabbed at first. He is doing fine though and will soon be returning to work and was even back in the store yesterday to check the staff were ok and to explain what had happened, bless him.
