Three people have now been arrested in connection with a stabbing in Piccadilly Gardens. Three males - including a 15-year-old boy - were detained and have since been bailed after a young man, aged in his 20s, was found with two stab wounds, including to his lower back following the city centre attack.
A huge police cordon was put in place after a 'group dispute' unfolded on Monday night. The victim, who had become involved in the 'scuffle', was taken to hospital from the scene. His injuries were not believed to be serious.
Greater Manchester Police initially confirmed that a 21-year-old man was detained and arrested on suspicion of assault and affray.
