Moss Side incident LIVE as officer attacked after police called to ‘man brandishing knife’

Eyewitness Simon Bailey told the M.E.N he got to the scene ‘about 30 seconds’ after it happened.

“I was walking home from work and I heard sirens and police cars going around the corner,” he said. “When I got there behind them, I saw loads of officers on top of a young guy.

“One of the officers was led away by colleagues and he had a large cut to his left cheek and was bleeding. It looked like he had been slashed with a knife.”
