A fresh wave of violence on the streets of the United Kingdom has left a man killed and two police officers injured.
Reports in local media said Sunday that a cyclist had shot dead a man in the northern English city of Liverpool earlier in the day.
Merseyside police launched an investigation into the death of the 27-year-old man who died of injuries in hospital.
Authorities said the perpetrator of the crime was believed to have been riding a pedal bike when he shot the victim in head and torso in the broad daylight before fleeing the scene.
Police was appealing for information for the suspect, believed to be in his late 20s and dressed in black.
“The investigation into this shocking incident is in its very early stages, and we are keen to speak to anyone who may have information which could help us establish the full circumstances and find those responsible,” police superintendent Natalie Perischine said.
