Stood opposite a convenience store which became the backdrop of a brutal stabbing, two members of the public spoke of the moment they rushed to help a total stranger who was seriously wounded after being 'stabbed in the neck' late last night.
Emergency services were scrambled to Wayne's Convenience on Stockport Road, Levenshulme, at around 11:30pm yesterday evening (Sunday January 22) following reports of a stabbing. A 19-year-old was treated at the scene before being rushed to hospital, where he remains in a critical condition, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) confirmed this afternoon.
"It was a nasty thing to see," one of the men, who didn't want to be named, told the M.E.N. "I'm a trained first-aider so I rushed over and helped give him CPR. But he seemed in a bad way."
