The Mercedes is then said to have been driven off with one of the men inside and is believed to have been involved in a crash with a number of members of the public. So far, no one has come forward to report they have been injured, cops said. The second man is thought to have fled the scene. Two men, aged 21 and 26, have since been arrested and the car has been located. A 21-year-old man from Wirral has been arrested on suspicion of s18 grievous bodily harm with intent, five counts of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent, dangerous driving, driving while unfit through drink, failing to stop after a road accident and affray.
