Man seriously hurt in horror stabbing in Manchester street

A man has been stabbed in south Manchester in a serious attack.

Police descended on Rutherford Avenue, in Rusholme, just before 9pm on Saturday evening to reports of a serious stabbing. A man was given life-saving treatment at the scene, police say, and is in a serious but stable condition in hospital.

A GMP spokesman said: "Officers were called to Rutherford Avenue in Rusholme, Manchester, at about 8:50pm yesterday (8 April) to reports a man had been seriously assaulted.

"The victim was given life-saving treatment at the scene by police officers and paramedics after receiving stab injuries. He was taken to hospital where his condition is described as serious but stable. Detectives are currently working on a number of lines of enquiry."

Inspector Richard Flanagan, of GMP's City of Manchester district, said: "There is a scene in place while officers carry out an investigation into the incident.

"We believe this to be an isolated and random incident that has resulted from a road traffic incident when a number of offenders have left a vehicle to attack the victim.

"We are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen the incident or who has any information - they should contact police quoting log 3350-08/04/2023."
