Teenager knifed by four men

- By Eleanor Barlow

A BOY of 13 was in hospital with serious knife wounds last night after being stabbed in a horrific and cowardly attack by four men.

The gang – armed with large-bladed knives – struck in a supermarke­t car park as witnesses watched in terror.

Even police were stunned by the attack in Longsight, Manchester, on Saturday night.

Police Detective Inspector Daniel Hadfield said: “This incident was nothing short of shocking.”

The men were all said to be wearing dark hooded tracksuits. One was wearing a black gilet over an Adidas tracksuit and had a Gucci bag across his body.

DI Hadfield added: “A 13-year-old boy has suffered some very serious injuries at the hands of four men, and we’re doing everything we can to trace those responsibl­e.

“We’re carrying out several lines of inquiry.”

The boy was said to be in a stable condition.
