Police later recovered the weapons and arrested two 15-year-old boys from Rock Ferry and Oxton in the area on suspicion of affray and possessing an offensive weapon in a public place. Both teenagers have been released on bail.
Officers are now appealing for more information to find the outstanding suspect believed to be involved in the attack.
Detective Inspector David Sung said: “Although we have made two arrests our officers are still searching for a teenage boy who is believed to be involved in the attack last Friday at Bromborough Retail Park. This was a frightening attack for the victim who bravely contacted police straight after the incident that led to the arrests.
“If you were at the retail park last Friday afternoon and saw the incident or have any CCTV footage of the attack please contact police immediately. Information from the public is vital if we are to stop any young people carrying weapons in our community that causes violence on our streets.
“Such behaviour is reckless, unacceptable and can cause serious harm and we are committed to removing anyone who uses such weapons in our community.”
