A 51-year-old man is in a serious condition after a 'shocking' assault in Tameside which left another man also needing hospital treatment.
Officers were called out to reports of an assault on Pennine View, in Audenshaw, at around 1.30pm on Monday (June 14).
Greater Manchester Police say that a man - who is described as being white with dark hair, a beard and aged in his mid 30s or 40s - went to a property and assaulted two victims.
Emergency services rushed to the scene before two men, aged 51 and 49, were taken to hospital.
The 49-year-old man has since been discharged while the 51-year-old man remains in a serious but stable condition, GMP says.
