Investigation launched after two men seriously injured in Manchester attack

Officers are investigating after two people were injured in a suspected stabbing in Clayton, Manchester last night.

At around 11.10pm on Sunday evening, we responded to reports of a man having received serious injuries on Barrington Street, Manchester. He was subsequently taken to hospital with injuries that are thankfully not believed to be life-threatening at this time.

Shortly after, another man presented himself at hospital with stab wounds which are believed to be connected to the initial call.

A scene remains in place and officers are on the scene as their enquiries continue.

Additional officers will be in the area over the coming days and they will be more than happy to discuss any issues that local residents have.

Detective Chief Inspector Gareth Davies, from GMP’s City of Manchester District, said: “We are currently investigating the full circumstances of last night’s shocking incident, and I would urge anyone with any information to please come forward.

“These acts of violence have no place on our streets and we will be working hard to ensure we find those responsible.

“We do believe that this was a targeted incident, with no wider threat to the public. However, we do have multiple officers on the scene and in the area for reassurance and they will be able to assist with any queries you may have.

“I would urge anyone with any information about this incident to please get in touch. This could include CCTV, dashcam, or doorbell footage from around the time of the incident and captures something that looks suspicious.”
