Police were called to Merseybank Road just after 12.25pm on Saturday (November 9) where it was reported a male had been stabbed in the arm.
Two males wearing all black clothes and balaclavas were reported to have ridden away from the scene on electric bikes onto Napier Road.
Their 15-year-old victim was taken to hospital for treatment to two stab wounds to his arm. His condition is described as stable.
Police attended the scene and enquiries are underway, with witnesses being spoken to and CCTV opportunities being explored.
Detective Inspector Paula Jones said: “Our enquires into this incident are in the very early stages, but based on what we know so far we do believe it was a targeted attack.
“Knife crime has absolutely no place on the streets of Wirral or anywhere in Merseyside, and our work to disrupt the activities of those who use, carry and store weapons goes on every single day of the year.
“Officers will be out tonight across New Ferry and into Rock Ferry to ensure there is a highly visible police presence to reassure communities and swiftly deal with anyone we suspect is intent on committing crime.
“We will always seek to take positive action when we have information about people who are storing, carrying or using weapons.
“So if you want to help us prevent our young people from falling victim to knife crime, give us information and we will do the rest.”
“Anyone with information on this incident, or who knows anything about knife crime in their area, should contact Merseyside Police social media desk via X @MerPolCC or Facebook ‘Merseyside Police Contact Centre”.
