One and the same to most people, think you're being a touch pedantic there.

BBC Twitter feed has flashed up that a 13yr old boy has been arrested over it. Can't put the source up as it's not on their site yet but this is their feed:

The Globe have updated their report:

Quote
A MAN is critically ill in hospital following an assault in Birkenhead last night.

Police say the 42-year-old man was involved in a verbal altercation with a gang of youths at the junction of Old Chester Road and Tudor Road shortly before the assault at around 8.20pm.

The victim was taken to Arrowe Park Hospital and later transferred to Walton Neurological Centre.

A 13-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the incident, but a police investigation continues because it is believed an older person may have been involved in the assault.

Witnesses can call police on 0151 777 2264 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Amazing, I went past at circa 22:30 and there was nothing out of the ordinary. They took their time to class it as a crime scene lol...

You're quite right, that is the postal address however The WIRRAL Globe should be aware of the area it covers and it's reporters should know the various boroughs of that area. This incident happened in Rock Ferry.

Maybe it's incase they populate it to other websites (Newsquest own quite a few papers around the northwest).

Don't matter too much though lol.

Fair point but as a proud Wirralian I don't like to see such amalgamation of our proud boroughs!!

All joking aside, I believe the chap involved is critical, let's hope we are not soon offering our condolences to his family....

It sounds like he's hit his head on the pavement although I spoke to a taxi driver earlier who claims he dropped a lady off in RF and she told him there was a car load of adults involved.....conjecture of course...

Maybe a bit more clarity from the BBC;

Quote
A 42-year-old man was severely injured when he was punched to the ground following a row with a group of youths in Wirral.

Police believe the incident took place near Tudor Road and Old Chester Road, Rock Ferry, on Monday.

A man is thought to have intervened and punched the victim who then fell and hit his head. He is now being treated at Walton Neurosurgical Unit.

A 13-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the incident.

Detectives are asking witnesses to come forward, in particular the youths involved in the original argument.

Maybe daddy didn't like someone interfering with his son's anti social behaviour.
