Man arrested after incident in Southport
MERSEYSIDE Police have issued the following statement:- "We have arrested a man and seized a flick knife following an incident in Southport this evening (Tuesday, 20 July 2024.) A report was received at 6.50pm that a man had been seen with a knife on Eastbank Street. Officers attended and a man was detained at around 6.55pm, and a flick knife recovered. There are no reports anyone was injured during the incident. A 32 year old man from Standish was arrested on suspicion of possession of a bladed article, and taken into custody."
Detective Inspector Gavin Mulcahy said:- "We know too well the devastating impact knife crime can have for victims, their families and friends, and those who carry them. This week has seen an unspeakable tragedy unfold in Southport, and this incident occurred a short distance from where a vigil had been happening where the community was paying their respects to all those affected. Officers made a swift arrest and have seized a knife that could have been used to cause harm in our communities. Those offenders who carry them have no place whatsoever in our communities. Every day we are carrying out stop checks, warrants and land searches to take knives off our streets, but as this incident shows, the assistance of members of the public in telling us where they are stored and who is carrying them is vital to ensure the safety of families and residents."
