Teenage boy fighting for his life after ‘serious incident’
A teenage boy has life-threatening injuries after he was stabbed in Manchester.
He is fighting for his life in hospital after the attack at around 4.15pm this afternoon in the Moss Side area of the city.
The age of the boy has not yet been released.
No arrests have been made yet but police confirmed initial inquiries were ‘well under way’ and appealed for witnesses.
Superintendent Muzemil Kernain said: ‘We understand that the local community will be quite rightly shocked when hearing this news and we will continue to provide a visible reassurance in the area over the coming days in the form of on-foot patrol officers, vehicle patrols and covert patrols.
‘We are appealing for any information the public may have to come forward and speak to us, it will be treated with the strictest confidence, and I am particularly keen if there is any mobile phone or dashcam footage of the incident or its immediate aftermath.’
Police officers are expected to remain in the area while an investigation is carried out.
