An investigation is underway after a 62-year-old man was stabbed 'for his shopping' in an Aldi car park on Tuesday (January 10). The shocking incident sparked major concern, with one councillor making a desperate plea to those considering carrying blades.
Police swarmed the usually busy car park, on Heywood Way, near Salford Precinct, shortly before 5pm after reports of a stabbing. It was then that a man, aged 62, was taken to hospital by paramedics with serious injuries. It is understood he had been walking to his car when the incident took place.
A huge cordon was erected, blocking off the entire Aldi car park for a short while as enquiries were carried out at the scene. Officers and forensics could be seen examining the area with torches. No arrests have been made, with a manhunt now underway to find those responsible for the attack.
