A murder investigation has been launched with a large police scene in place in north Manchester this morning (November 14).
Officers were called to Moss Bank in the Crumpsall area just before 1.35am today following reports of a stabbing. A 27-year-old man was rushed to hospital with several stab wounds but sadly died of his injuries in the ambulance.
Police believe he was attacked by a ‘number of males’ who were all wearing dark-clothing and balaclavas. The suspects fled the scene and no arrests have been made.
