Three men have been jailed after a fifteen year old boy was left with serious injuries following an incident in November 2022
The boy was at a cash machine on Upper Chorlton Road, Trafford when he noticed a black BMW drive past him before making a U-turn and pulling up on the other side of the road.
As the boy set off on his scooter, the vehicle sped past him and cut him off. Three men jumped out of the car and proceeded to rob him at knifepoint during which he was stabbed twice, and £120 was taken from him before the offenders made off in the car.
He was rushed to hospital where he underwent emergency surgery before being stabilised.
Following a thorough investigation led by DC Marie-Louise Knight of Trafford CID, the offenders were identified as Mann, Jackson and Henson.
Callum Henson aged 24 of Claridge Road, Manchester has been sentenced to 5 years and 6 months for robbery and section 20. assault.
Harry Jackson also of Ormskirk Avenue, Withington has been sentenced to 4 years and 10 months for section 18. assault.
Bailey Mann aged 19 of Chadstone, Northampton has been sentenced to 3 years in a young offenders institute for robbery.
All three were sentenced at Manchester Crown Court on Monday 2 March 2026.
DC Knight said: “This was an unprovoked attack on a young boy who was left with serious injuries which required extensive hospital treatment.
“I am grateful that they have now faced justice for their actions – not only for ourselves from an investigation side, but also for the victim and his family who were left shaken following this incident.
“Across Trafford, officers are working tirelessly to tackle knife crime and violence associated with this type of criminality. Knife-enabled serious violence offences are down 29% across Trafford, whilst stop searches have increased by 27%.
“These sentencings show that we will not tolerate this type of violent crime – knife crime has no place on our streets, and we will do all that we can to make sure offenders are punished, and our communities are safe.”
