Residents of a 'close-knit' Oldham neighbourhood were moved to tears today as they spoke of their fear following a brutal stabbing.
Police were called to Field Street, Failsworth shortly before 8am on Sunday morning (14 May) after reports of concern for welfare for a man in his 40s. He was rushed to hospital after sustaining 'life-changing' stabbing injuries to his wrist. A 34-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of section 18 assault.
Officers later set up a second cordon over two miles away on Heron Street, where at least 38 evidence markers could be seen around the car park of Mill View Court. Neighbours told the Manchester Evening News they were 'shocked' by the incident after hearing shouting and screaming that morning.
