00:00 Hello and welcome. These are the top headlines making the news today from our newsrooms across

00:04 the North West. A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a stabbing

00:09 in Leyland. The victim, aged in his 30s, ran to the corpse store in Dunkirk Lane Mossside

00:14 after he was attacked by a man with a knife at around 6am. The stabbing is understood

00:18 to have happened in a flat above the corpse store and the man ran to the shop for help.

00:23 He was bleeding heavily and staff called for an ambulance. He was taken to hospital and

00:26 police say his condition is serious but stable. A teenager riding a scooter suffered from

00:33 major trauma-related injuries after colliding with a van in Fleetwood. Police cordoned off

00:37 North Church Street at around 3pm on Wednesday as an air ambulance landed on the esplanade.

00:43 North West Ambulance Service later confirmed they were called after a child on a scooter

00:47 collided with a van. A Wigan man is amongst three men who pleaded guilty to Class A drugs

00:53 offences. It follows a county line's drugs bust last month by police investigating a

00:58 conspiracy to supply drugs between Wigan and Merseyside. On Tuesday, June 6th at 6am, three

01:03 dawn raids were made at properties in Wigan, Formby and Kirby by officers from Merseyside

01:08 Police's Project Medusa and Wigan's Challenger organised crime teams. Officers uncovered a

01:13 cultivation of cannabis plants, mobile phones and approximately £2,000 in cash. Thousands

01:20 lined the streets as they enjoyed the Fast and Furious Fort Vale Cone Grand Prix on Tuesday.

01:29 series, Cone welcomed some of the best riders in the country to Lancashire for what was

01:33 an incredible spectacle. A Haitian man with Parkinson's disease was stopped from going

01:38 into a supermarket because they said he was drunk. John Hoey said he was collared by a

01:42 security guard at the entrance to Morrison's in Morecambe who refused him entry into the

01:45 store. John was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2011 and is waiting to go for deep brain

01:50 surgery to insert electrodes into the brain which change some of the electrical signals

01:54 that causes the symptoms of Parkinson's. Morrison's have apologised for the incident and are carrying

01:59 out an investigation. In the weather, after a gloomy start to Thursday, it should turn

02:05 drier and somewhat brighter but with the chance of showers developing, least possibly heavy.

02:09 Friday should be fairly cloudy with occasionally bright or sunny intervals and a maximum temperature

02:14 of 21 degrees. That's it for now, thanks for watching, see you tomorrow.
