Witness appeal following serious assault in Salfords

We are appealing for witnesses following a serious assault in Salfords this morning.

Officers were called to an address on Brighton Road in Salfords at 1.12am this morning following reports of a fight and a stabbing at the location.

The victim, a 17-year-old boy, was taken to hospital with a stab wound, where he remains at this time receiving treatment.

Four people – a 15-year-old boy, a 16-year-old boy, a 15-year-old girl, and a 16-year-old girl – have all been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. They all remain in police custody at this time.

As a key part of our enquiries, we are now looking to speak to anyone who might have been in the area at the time. Were you driving through Salfords in the area around Brighton Road between 1am and 1.15am this morning? Do you have any CCTV, dash cam, or helmet cam footage that could have captured all or part of this incident?

We are particularly looking to speak to a taxi driver who we believe might have witnessed all or part of this incident. If this is you, or you know who it might be, please get in touch.
