The person involved is not dead but is fighting for his life!! Was a terrible attack and anyone with information please contact the police or pm me so I can pass the information onto his sister!!

Many thanks

Just been passed, taped off from Asda delivery entrance to McD's, one car and a forensic van with a CCTV van prowling.

i'm with ste all the way on this, place should be shut down out of everyone who drinks in birkenhead id say only 20% are out to enjoy themselves utter shame full of ...

new brighton is getting the same, sorry to say.

Its sad its going this way, I remember when I first moved down here to live I used to enjoy a night out in birkenhead (Some bars I avoided) now I dont bother other than the odd pint or a meal

I take it you've never been on a night out to Birkenhead then...

was he stabbed i was told he was bottled an is in a comar fighting for his life hope he pulls through

I was in the town centre yesterday near the market around three and there was shouting behind us and it was a teenage ars3h0le fighting with his girlfriend pushing a pram and was swinging punches at her kicking her ect and was asked by an oap why don't people do some thing to help?I replied because you get no thanks the other party turns on you and with past history as late you don't know if your going to be stabbed!!! O the life we lead.Hope the injured lad pulls through and they find the empty head not that he will dealt with.

Terrible all this

just pure rubbish lock them up and throw the key away.hope he gets better

I hope he makes a full recovery.With best wishes to him and his family

hi kate j
wish his family that we hope he makes a full recovery and they catch the people who did this.
we need to remember birkenhead is what we make it it should be a place where people can feel safe to go out for a drink etc

It was a 34 year old man. He went outside Yate's with another man to finish an arguement. Punches were thrown and one hit the floor, smacking his head on the pavement. (This is how his sister and family has heard it). He is in a coma. There is no "good" news about his health, yet.

If anyone knows/was a witness to this, or knows anything else, please please, go to the police. They have the other man in custody.

Although what has happened is heartbreaking for my friend, lets not tar everyone in Birkenhead with the same brush. Birkenhead, like every other "drinking" area is going down hill.

A 30-YEAR-OLD man was left fighting for his life after being attacked in a Birkenhead bar.

The unnamed victim was said to be in a critical condition following the "disturbance" at the Wine Lodge in Charing Cross at around 9.10pm last night.

Merseyside Police believe the trouble may have started inside and spilled out into the street.

Detectives said a major incident room had been set up and that they were still hunting whoever attacked the man, who was said to be local.

A police spokesman said: "A young man has been left fighting for his life. Anyone in the Wine Lodge, or passing by, who may have information, no matter how small they think it is, is urged to contact us as it may assist our investigation.

"It was a busy Friday night and someone will have seen what happened. We are treating this extremely seriously and ask anyone who can to help us bring to justice the person responsible for this."

Anyone with information should contact Wirral CID on 0151 777 2265 or Crimestopppers on 0800 555 111.

this lad is off my estate
carnt belive its him
such a great lad

Quite ironic that this appeared above a thread titled "Birkenhead - Paradise Lost". Too true.

So, the police can't even get Kenny's age right? He is 34, and, as his sister is one of my closest friends, I guess I should know his age too.

As far as his sister is concerned, they have the other guy in custody.

Maybe this is their way of looking for the full story, as Kenny is certainly unable to give it.

He is still fighting. Let's hope he gets well.

Typical mis-reporting by the Wirral News, not the police.

Poor kenny

Thinking of him and his family

Estate will be in uproar

4PM UPDATE: TWO men have now been arrested in connection with the assault in Birkenhead.

http://www.wirralnews.co.uk/wirral-...dium=facebook&utm_source=twitterfeed


A 32-year-old and 36-year-old, both from the area, have been arrested on suspicious of causing grievous bodily harm and have been taken to a police station in Merseyside for questioning.

Detectives are continuing their appeal for people with information to come forward.

Officers are keen to speak to anyone who was inside The Wine Lodge, passing by outside, or in The Tap next door at the time of the incident

Head stomping/kicking should be attempted murder not gbh grrrrr.

Difficult to prove "attempted murder", due to having to proove "intent to kill". Virtually imposssible. He sais he did not intend to kill, especially when no one is actualy DEAD, then no one can proove otherwise.

GBH, the evidence is right before your eyes. Conviction more or less garunteed.

Was his name Kenny Wylde?

Am I missing something here, where does it say there was head-stamping and the like going on? The new report just states he smacked his head on the ground?

i've heard from someone who knows him that he had his head stamped on too but I haven't seen any reports of this actually being the case so I wouldn't say it was fact, probably more like chinese whispers than anything.

That "report" speaks volumes lol.

Chinese whispers as you say.

Chances are, attack by drunk morons, head was stamped! I once suffered the same fate In New brighton.

Was minding my own business and got jumped by god knows how many. Few days in intensive care and an un repairable damaged jaw later I am still here but there are people that go out to intentionally cause this.

Cheap beer or not, ... Is ...

Why are we still trying to speculate or start more chinese whispers?? Connections of the family/victim have posted in this thread, the police have released a statement and the newspapers have followed up. We do not know the full facts of the incident and will not know until a suitable time (court case).

Not just you I know, but can everyone have some respect and quite trying to spice up a situation, that is affecting a local family. Don't you think it is distressing enough for the family and friends of the victim without everyone gossiping and trying to paint a picture they want to see, for their own entertainment?

Thanks!

it was a punch not head stamping and unfortunate for all involved that we have this outcome, im sure that the lad throwing the ounch did not intend this level of harm and its bad news for the injured party. For all we know the lad could have been acting in self defence the injury is a freak injury that could happen at any time in incidents like this but fortunately rarely does

Lets hope for everyones sake the lad makes a good and speedy recovery

Man due in court after attack outside The Wine Lodge pub in Wirral - 9.30am UPDATE

Feb 13 2012
by Liam Murphy, Liverpool Echo
A MAN was due in court today charged in connection with an attack outside a Wirral pub.
The assault happened close to The Wine Lodge, in Charing Cross, Birkenhead, at  around 9.10pm on Friday.
The 30-year-old victim sustained serious head injuries and was last night in a critical but stable condition in hospital.
John Burns, aged 32, of Aldford Close, Prenton, was due before Birkenhead Magistrates’ Court this morning.
He is charged with wounding with intent to commit grievous bodily harm.
Yesterday the town centre pub was still sealed off as detectives appealed for witnesses.
Wallasey news group

thats reported wrong hes not charged with intent, its s20

FETCH THE BIRCH BACK AND SEE HOW BRAVE THEY ARE AFTER BEING BIRCHED AND MAKE THEM PAY FOR TH VICTIMS HOSPITALCOSTS AND COMOSATION REGARDLES OF INCOME

Yes

Why?

I was watching the match on Saturday in the cross and his name got mentioned. We went to school together. How is he doing now? I hope he makes a speedy recovery.

Fair point if he did it intentionally , but if he did it in self defence not quite so wouldnt you say

Totally agree!

This is my cousin. Last we heard 2 people have been charged. He's still in a coma, with no change. There are so many stories running around about what happened and unless the police release a statement based on CCTV footage we may never know the full story.

I hope he makes a full recovery, only one charged and one dropped as he was only questioned for being near the incident and in effect a witness.

Kenny passed away just an hour ago.

RIP Kenny Wylde, may your light keep shining on in your family.

Rip kenny.

R.I.P.kenny Thoughts are with your family and friends x

sad for the guy whos responsible for the punch also as his lifes ruined as well as he didnt bring this upon himself!!

Are you serious? This is why I avoid violence because if you hit someone you intend to hurt them and everyone knows these days you can kill with a punch.

even in self defence? pre emptive strike? Id say there was a difference

And you know it was sense defense how? Too many people die from one punch these days for people to not know the consequences.

because I know, and the CPS and police didnt charge him with intent

This might help answer your question Chorizo.

I think people are too quick to form opinions which aren't based on facts, even the papers are getting it wrong. It's a sad, sad situation for all involved.
