Two men seriously injured in Clayton attack

Police are investigating after two people were injured in a suspected stabbing in Clayton last night.

At around 11.10pm, they were alerted to a man with serious injuries on Barrington Street.

He was taken to hospital with injuries which are not believed to be life-threatening at this time.

Shortly after, another man attended hospital with stab wounds which are understood to be connected with the initial call.

A scene remains in place and officers are on the scene as their enquiries continue.

Additional officers will be in the area over the coming days and residents will be able to share any concerns.

Detective chief inspector Gareth Davies said: “We are currently investigating the full circumstances of last night’s shocking incident, and I would urge anyone with any information to please come forward.

“These acts of violence have no place on our streets and we will be working hard to ensure we find those responsible.

“We do believe that this was a targeted incident, with no wider threat to the public. However, we do have multiple officers on the scene and in the area for reassurance and they will be able to assist with any queries you may have.

“I would urge anyone with any information about this incident to please get in touch. This could include CCTV, dashcam, or doorbell footage from around the time of the incident and captures something that looks suspicious.”

You can contact police via 101 or via the Live Chat service at gmp.police.uk, quoting log 3482 of 01/12/24. Alternatively, anonymously contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
