Officers appeal for information after two men arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in Salford

Yesterday evening (Tuesday 7 November 2023), Greater Manchester Police arrested a 29-year-old and a 30-year-old man on suspicion of the attempted murder of a 34-year-old man.

These arrests relate to an incident that took place at a property on Norfolk Street, Walkden on Saturday 4 November 2023, which left the victim with a suspected gunshot injury and stab wounds. He is still recovering from his injuries.
