0 PAY HUGE ARMED POLICE RESPONSE SERIOUS INCIDENT MANCHESTER CITY CENTRE

Police rushed to the scene to alleged reports of a ‘stabbing’

A huge armed police response has rushed to Manchester City Centre after reports of a ‘suspected stabbing’.

Greater Manchester Police cordoned off an area near Superdrug in Piccadilly Gardens on Tuesday night, May 19.

A police helicopter was also circling for at least forty minutes, reportedly searching for those involved.

Witnesses have reported that multiple people had been stabbed, however this is yet to be confirmed by Greater Manchester Police.

A male was seen being rushed into an ambulance as the city centre gained a huge emergency services presence.

As the roads are closed and cordons are in place, medical debris can be seen left lying on the floor with bloodied bandages inside the blue tape.

CID officers also attended the scene.

Manchester Evening News have approached Greater Manchester Police for further comment.
