A man "staggered" out of a chippy after suffering from a serious injury following an "industrial accident".
Emergency services were called around 12.40pm today to a takeaway, understood to be the Metro Fish Bar, on Liscard Village following reports a man had been injured after a "industrial accident". A cordon was in place outside The Turkish Barbershop and Liscard Dry Cleaners on the same row of the shops.
People at the scene told our ECHO reporter that the man reportedly "staggered" out of takeaway after suffering a "serious injury to his arm" and into the nearby barbershop for assistance. Workers from The Turkish Barbershop claim the man suffered a laceration to his arm.

Police said the man was taken to hospital to be treated for his injuries, which are not believed to be life threatening. Officers remain at the scene this afternoon while enquiries are carried out.
