A teenage boy was stabbed after thugs said to be wielding knives and machetes ran amok in east Manchester last night (October 10).
The terrifying violence broke out in the Ryder Brow area of Gorton late ysterday evening. Officers were called to Ryderbrow Road to ‘reports of a group of males attacking others with machetes and knives’, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.
There they found a 17-year-old boy with ‘injuries consistent with a stabbing’. The same boy was arrested on suspicion of violent disorder.
