Officers appeal for information after man seriously injured in Cheetham Hill attack

Officers are investigating following reports of a stabbing on Beckhenham Road in Cheetham Hill last night (23 October 2024).

At around 9pm, officers received a call from the ambulance service, who were treating a man aged 26 with serious, life-changing injuries. He was taken to hospital where he remains for treatment. No arrests have been made.

A scene remains in place while officers carry out their enquiries, and extra officers have been deployed to the area for reassurance.

Detectives investigating the incident are now appealing for information as they continue their work.

This includes any relevant CCTV, dashcam or doorbell footage.

Detective Sergeant Gabriela Espinoza Castro, from GMP’s City of Manchester district, said: “We have extra officers around the area to reassure residents as we continue our work, and I would encourage local residents to talk to them about any queries you may have.

“This was a senseless attack which has left a man with serious injuries – there could have easily been much more severe consequences.

“I would urge anyone with any information to please get in touch with us – your information could prove hugely beneficial.”
