MAN WANTED IN CONNECTION WITH STABBING DESCRIBED BY POLICE AS ‘POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS’
A £10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of a man wanted in connection with a stabbing and a kidnapping.
Bradley Ward is described by police as ‘potentially dangerous.’
The 22-year-old, of no fixed address, has links to Moston and Blackley.
Ward is wanted by police in connection with a stabbing on Oldham Road in Newton Heath in August last year. A man was also threatened with a gun.
The victim, was knifed repeatedly in the legs and rushed to nearby Central Park Police Station by a member of the public.
Ward is also wanted in connection with a kidnapping in Miles Platting in October 2016.
Det Con Adam Cronshaw, from GMP’s Critical Wanted, team said that despite extensive enquiries, officers have not been able to track Ward down.
He said: “We have been doing everything we can to hunt down Ward, but despite our best efforts we have been unable to locate him so far.
“He knows he is wanted and is actively avoiding being arrested and we are hoping with new images of him and a £10,000 reward someone will come forward with information about his whereabouts.
“Ward is potentially dangerous and I would urge anyone who sees him not to approach him. Instead, contact police immediately on the numbers below.
“Have a look at the picture and if you believe you have any information about him, no matter how small, then call us.
“I also want to stress it is a criminal offence to harbour a wanted person and anyone who is housing Ward, or is purposely withholding information about him, could potentially face prosecution.
“To anyone who knows anything about Ward’s location, I would ask you to do the right thing and call us.”
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 0161 856 6485.
People are urged to call 999 in an emergency.
