Hammer attack after street row Sep 15 2003
Mark Hookham Daily Post
A MAN was hit over the head with a hammer following a brawl with a neighbour.
The 37-year-old was treated in Fazakerley Hospital after the disturbance in Beatrice Street, Bootle.
Witnesses say the victim was left lying in a pool of blood on the pavement.
A 35-year old man, who lives in the same street, was arrested on suspicion of assault.
It is believed the arrested man has only recently moved to the street.
A neighbour, who asked to remain anonymous, said: "We came out and just saw him laying there. "There was quite a lot of blood and I put a dressing on it and put him in the recovery position until the ambulance arrived."
Doctors said last night that they believed the 37-year-old man's injuries were not life-threatening.
A police spokesman said: "This is believed to have originated from a dispute involving neighbours."
The incident happened at around 10.25pm on Saturday
