'˜Serious assault' claim was hoax call
Claims of a serious assault at a Blackpool house turned out to be a hoax call, police say.
Several police patrols were called to an address on Peter Street at around 5.30pm after a 999 call was made.
An unknown person alleged a serious attack had taken place at the property, however, on arrival officers discovered no such attack had taken place.
Police are currently investigating the incident.
