A man was arrested following an incident at a gym in Liverpool last night.
A man in his 20s suffered injuries after being slashed to the face by the suspect in what police are describing as a targeted attack.
A police cordon remained in place at the gym, and a nearby Nandos restaurant outside the seating area was also cordoned off.
The incident took place at the David Lloyd gym just off Speke Road, shortly after 6pm on Thursday evening.
Merseyside Police confirmed that a man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and remains in custody.
Chief Inspector Neal Arrowsmith said,
“We are in the very early stages of investigating this incident as we look to establish the full circumstances of what happened.
“Although initial inquiries are still being carried out, we believe this was a targeted attack against the victim.
To attack someone in such a violent manner is shocking and thankfully officers were able to quickly detain a suspect.
The leisure centre would have been busy at the time of the incident, so if you witnessed what happened please come forward.
Although we have made an arrest, we still need anyone with information to let us know as soon possible to assist our ongoing inquiries.”
