An estate in Middleton was rocked by two violent incidents in just a matter of days, leaving residents living there 'frightened' and 'disturbed'.
Children even had to witness splatters of blood on the pavement as police swarmed the Alkrington Moss estate twice last week.
Three people were reportedly hospitalised after a suspected stabbing on May 3, with another man understood to be injured after a separate incident broke out at a nearby block of flats at The Heath a mere three days later.
