Police searching for taxi driver after man suffers serious head injury

Police are trying to trace a taxi driver after a man was found with serious head injuries in Aintree.

At around 4.50pm on Wednesday 27th December, paramedics found a man in his 20's injured on Warbreck Moor. The man was found on the pavement with a head injury and was taken to hospital - where his condition is described as stable.

"As part of the investigation we want to trace the driver of a black Hackney cab which was heading from the Aintree area towards the city centre at approximately 4.50pm.

"We would appeal to that person to come forward as we believe they may have information which could assist with our investigation."
