Detectives are hunting the person responsible for a 'brazen' acid attack in Moss Side.
A 28-year-old man was sprayed with the substance on Great Western Street at about 6.40pm yesterday.
He has since been discharged from hospital, and police say his injuries are 'not deemed to be life-changing'.
No arrests have been made, and officers are appealing for help.
Police said the victim was approached by a man wearing a 'camouflage jacket' before the attack.
They say the offender fled on foot down nearby Acomb Street in the direction of Kippax Street.
Officers have described the incident as an 'isolated attack'.
Detective Inspector Peter Morley, of GMP's City of Manchester division said: "Thankfully the victim has been discharged from hospital and we wish him a speedy recovery.
"This was a brazen attack which could have had life-altering consequences and we’re appealing to anyone with any information to come forward and speak with police.
"We're particularly keen to speak to anyone who may have been in the area at the time and witnessed anything unusual or anyone behaving suspiciously. Any information, no matter how small, could greatly assist us.
"Incidents like this can cause concern and worry for many in the community but we want to reassure you that we believe this incident to have been an isolated attack with no wider threat to the public."
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 quoting incident number 2284 of 11/01/2021, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
