Police called to scene on Curry Mile following reports of a 'stabbing'

Police and CSI have been at the scene of an incident in Rusholme, which witnesses said was a 'stabbing'.

Officers cordoned off Walmer Street, from Wilmslow Road to Aspinall Street, at around 6pm this evening (Thursday March 10). A number of evidence markers were also placed in the road and on the pavement.

The crime scene was next to Indian restaurant Shere Khan and manager Mansoor Hussain told the Manchester Evening News that he saw four 'youngsters' by the restaurant just before the reported incident.

"Next thing, the delivery driver came in and said 'someone's been stabbed and they're bleeding'.

"There was a car there so I think whatever happened was behind the car. I didn't see it.

"There are always kids messing about outside but you'd never think this would happen. It's not nice at all."

Another member of staff said that the incident happened around 6pm and said that the people who were outside at the time "didn't look any older than 14 or 15".

M.E.N has approached Greater Manchester Police for comment.
