Bleed kit installed outside shopping centre where security guard was stabbed

A community have come together to install a life-saving bleed kit at a busy shopping centre. The kit is being installed at the site of a non-fatal stabbing in a 'frenzied' attack last August in Middleton.

It is the latest of many to be installed across the city-region this year.

The bleed kit has come from the Daniel Baird Foundation who work to raise the awareness of how bleed kits can save the lives of those bleeding heavily, in memory of Daniel Baird who was fatally stabbed in Birmingham in 2017. Bleed kits contain instructions on how to help should someone be bleeding heavily and includes equipment to help stem blood flow during the wait for paramedics to arrive.
