On a May afternoon, families are walking their little ones home from school, as others natter to their neighbours from their front yard. These terraced streets are a community like any other.
But by night, residents living around Rosedale Road, a street which runs into an alley on the border of Fallowfield and Moss Side, say they feel 'trapped' in their own homes.
Last Sunday an 18-year-old man was rushed to hospital with serious injuries following a stabbing on Rosedale Road, the third time they've been called to an attack in the vicinity this year. Following the stabbing, officers cordoned off the alley section.
