Does anyone on here know the condition of the injured man?
Incidentally my girlfriend and I were walking past Victoria Park 5 or 6 weeks ago on a Saturday night, just after 11pm. As we walked up Albany Road I saw a group of people in the middle of the park who made towards us with (I thought) the intention of 'intercepting' us. Being aware of this I speeded up and tried to avoid them without being too obvious.
They started to follow us just, while behind the wall of the park - along Bebington Road. We crossed over to walk in front of the shops to avoid them. They were saying threats and abuse probably trying to provoke me into saying or doing something to them. I didnt hear everything they said however worryingly one thing I clearly heard was "Hey mate,Im gonna rape ya bird"
We headed towards the Sportsmans pub and the gang stayed in the park when we past some people outside the takeways along Bebington Road.
My girlfriend is new to the area and fortunately she couldn't hear/understand what they were saying and I havent told her. Its a new relationship and I didn't want to put her off from visiting. Its ... like them who give this part of the Wirral a bad rep. We were both a lil shaken by the experience and will be getting taxis from now on when I am with her at night in the Birkenhead/Tranmere areas.
*Edit I have just clicked the link I had missed to the Wirral News article stating the victims condition as "stable & not life threatening"* go back with a few blokes and smash them up The thought did cross my mind Dave H - Unfortunately I didn't get a clear look at any of their faces as I didn't have my glasses with me -and they had hoods up and scarves over their faces didn't want to stare at them and give them an excuse to attack us. My main concern was getting my GF away from the situation safely. If physically attacked I will defend myself & usually with success but revenge isn't my thing and I would hate to take it out on some innocent party by mistake. I did feel a huge urge to introduce them to certain aspects of the the game of baseball though https://www.wikiwirral.co.uk/forums/images/icons/default_dark/wink.gifI have a good mate who lives near the park and we often walk his dog through it on my way home from his at midnight or later it is usually quiet in there with only the occasional friendly dogwalker to be seen. Glad I chose not to walk through that night or who knows what would of happened.

The park is ok, I think it's the perception rather than the reality. Things happen everywhere we go, and given the number of people who use the park I think incidents are fairly rare, from the sounds of this one it would appear that they knew each other and the park was just an incidental location. I would (have, and do) quite happily walk through there at any time of the day or night, then again I've done the same thing through Delamere Forest since I was 9 (maybe 10), although I think my current position of walking with a "wolf on a string" would make even the most desparate think twice before approaching out of the darkness

Unfortunately things like this seem to be quite common these days. It seems people are starting to carry knives around and using them a lot more since there have been a number of stories of stabbing in recent weeks. Unless of course they're just being publicised more
