Police are appealing for information after a stabbing in the early hours of this morning in the Woodley area of Stockport that has left a man in his 40’s hospitalised
He was attacked near the shopping precinct around midnight
The victim was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries after suffering two stab wounds.
His condition has since stabilised, and he remains in hospital for treatment.
Enquiries by detectives from Stockport CID so far suggest that the man was approached by three hooded men before being stabbed at the back of the Iceland store on Mill Lane.
The offenders are then believed to have run across the railway bridge from Mill Lane towards a grassed area connecting Woodstock Road, Woodstock Crescent, and Hollyhouse Drive.
Police are particularly keen to speak to anyone in that area who may have doorbell or dash-cam footage as we continue to try and get a better understanding of the circumstances of the incident and who may be responsible.
After being injured the victim made his way to as far as Hyde Road before police were called.
Two scenes have been in place where we believe the man was attacked and where he was found.
Forensic searches continue to take place in the local area this afternoon and the cordon will remain in place during that time.
