Man stabbed in shoulder

AN investigation has been launched after a man was stabbed.

Police were called to Thornsgreen Road, Wythenshawe, near Manchester Airport, just after 1am.

A 27-year-old was taken to hospital with a ‘serious’ shoulder injury.

The road was closed off and a forensics tent put up.

Officers from the Tactical Aid Unit were later seen carrying out a fingertip search of the street and gardens.

Witnesses say police were also going door-to-door, with officers also speaking to residents nearby Lenham Walk and Lincombe Road. It is understood TAU officers also visited a nearby field as part of the investigation. The cordon was lifted around 1pm. A spokesman for GMP said the man has now been discharged from hospital.

No arrests have been made. Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101, quoting incident number 137 of February 10, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111 or online at https:// crimestoppers-uk.org/
