A group of teenagers threatened two people with a knife before hurling a brick at the face of one of their victims. Greater Manchester Police is searching for three boys aged around 15 and 16 following the attack in Rochdale.
Following initial enquiries, GMP says the pair were targeted while walking out of Rochdale town centre, just hours after the new year began. Officers were called to reports of an assault at around 5.05am on January 1.
Police believe the pair were approached from behind by the group, at the junction with School Lane. One of the suspects threatened both victims with a knife while another kicked one of them to the face.
