Residents have told of their shock after a stabbing suspect died following his arrest. Police combed the streets of Edale Road in Leigh today as investigations continued into the stabbing of a man last night (February 9).
Emergency services were first called to reports of a stabbing on Park Lane at around 9.10pm with a man rushed to hospital in a 'serious' condition. A suspect was arrested a short time after having initially tried to flee.
However, they became 'seriously unwell' and died at the scene. A huge emergency services presence was in place overnight and a cordon was slowly made bigger throughout Friday as more officers came to investigate the scene.
