Two arrested after stabbing at Regents Park last night

Police have arrested two men after a stabbing outside a gym in Salford last night.

Just before 7.10pm yesterday evening (8 June 2021), officers were called to a report of stabbing at Regents Park on Ordsall Lane.

Emergency services attended and a man in his 20s was taken to hospital where he remains with serious but not life-threatening injuries.

Detectives from Salford CID are investigating and enquiries so far suggest the victim was involved in an altercation with four men who had got out of a black Seat Leon and assaulted him.

The Seat was later traced to an address in the Moss Side area and seized.

Two men - aged 18 and 19 - were later detained and taken to custody for questioning on suspicion of section 18 assault.

Investigators are appealing for witnesses and anyone in the area who may have any dash cam footage around the time of the attack to come forward.
