A teenager has been attacked with a machete in a Tesco Express store in Mossley Hill.
Police were called to reports of someone trying to steal a bike on Sunday night (September 15).
Officers say the 16-year-old suffered cuts to his arm after he was chased into the store by two men, believed to be aged between 18-20.
There were shoppers in the store in Allerton Road at the time - although no-one else was hurt.
Detective Sergeant Clare Walsh said: “This was clearly a shocking incident in a shop which would have been busy with customers.
“We are currently carrying out a number of lines of enquiry to establish what has taken place in the lead up to the assault.
“We believe the victim was in Calderstones Park and was chased by two males, possibly on a Suron bike. The males then made off towards Garston Park.
“This type of behaviour is totally unacceptable and we will do everything within our powers to find those responsible and bring them to justice.
“If you were in the vicinity of the Tesco Express store on Allerton Road and saw or heard anything suspicious please get in touch as a matter of urgency.”
