Neighbours reacted to the stabbing on Sunday afternoon.
One resident, who declined to be named, told the M.E.N: "I heard all the sirens and thought they were going to the home around the corner for people with dementia. I didn't take any notice until I looked out of the window and saw all the police cars."
Another said: "I heard the police and looked out and saw loads of them. I've been here 50 years and it's really gone down from how it used to be. It's happening all the time these days and it's what you expect."
Both residents reported that there had been another stabbing at a bus stop on nearby Charlestown Road on Saturday. It's not known if there is any link between that incident and Sunday's stabbing.
