A 48-year-old man is in critical condition after being stabbed during a suspected robbery in Chorlton, Manchester. Two men are alleged to have attacked the victim outside a bail hostel. Police have arrested a 46-year-old man on suspicion of assault.
Locals have spoken of their shock after a man was left fighting for his life following a suspected stabbing in Chorlton . The 48-year-old was attacked by two men at around 8pm last night (Sunday) in what is believed to have been a robbery, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said. The 48-year-old is in hospital with 'serious life-threatening injuries' the force said.
The 'altercation' is said to have happened outside a bail hostel on Oswald Road with one of the suspects said to have fled the scene on an e-bike. Emergency services flooded the area afterwards. A 46 year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of assault and remains in custody for questioning. A large cordon remained in place at the junction of Nicolas Road and Oswald Road for almost 20 hours afterwards. A blue police tent was erected in the centre of the cordon. And CSI officers in white forensic suits spent several hours on Monday afternoon combing the area for clues. Officers could be seen going in and out of the bail hostel. At several points a large group of officers also carried out detailed searches, using long sticks to search the gardens of neighbouring properties as well as bushes and the pavement. The cordon meant local GP surgery the Chorlton Family Practice had to remain closed to staff and patients for the day. Those living nearby told the Manchester Evening News had been left taken aback at what had happened. A man who has lived on Nicolas Road for 30 years, who did not want to be named, said: 'We've never had any trouble. There was one where there were armed police who came but that was it. And the response was nothing like this. 'So it has been a real shock seeing so many police and so close. It is a very quiet, residential area. So to have a cordon that big really is really unusual and obviously quite disturbing.' 'It's really shocking' a neighbour said. 'We first heard about it on Facebook. I looked out and there were blue lights everywhere and it was all taped of
