A 22 year old man has died in hospital after being stabbed last night on Moss Lane East in Moss Side.
Police say that it is believed there was a disturbance between the victim and his friend with two other men on Moss Lane East.
The two men fled the scene in a car and the victim’s friend stayed at the scene and called emergency services.
No arrests have been made at this time but detectives are working hard to locate the two men who fled the scene and are appealing for help for the public’s assistance to aid their enquiries.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy Naismith of GMP’s Major Incident Team, said: “We are in the early stages of our enquiries and are working to build up a full and comprehensive picture of the events leading up to this young man’s death, whilst our thoughts remain with his family who are being supported by officers.
“I understand people will be concerned when they hear of news of what has happened, but I would like to reassure them that we do not believe this was a random attack and we have a number of additional resources deployed to identifying the person responsible.
“We are appealing for the public’s help and are asking for any witnesses to come forward who were on Moss Lane East or in the surrounding area yesterday evening.
“You may think that what you saw is only minor, but it could be vital to the progression our investigation, so please get in touch.”
