Police urgently appeal following triple stabbing in Manchester city centre
Emily Sergeant
Police are urgently appealing for information following a triple stabbing in Manchester city centre over the weekend.
The appeal comes after Greater Manchester Police (GMP) was called to a disturbance in Piccadilly Gardens at around 11:45pm this past Saturday night (23 November), and when officers arrived on the scene, they found two teenagers, aged 17 and 18, seriously injured with stab wounds.
Police were then later notified that a 20-year-old man presented at hospital with a stab wound to the chest, and this was believed to have been sustained during this same incident.
Paramedics rushed the two teenagers to hospital, where they are currently still receiving treatment for their injuries, however none of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening at this time.
In an attempt to gain more understanding of the situation and what happened, an urgent police appeal has now been issued.
A dispersal order has been issued in #Manchester City Centre and extends throughout GM to protect the public from anti-social behaviour in response to a rising number of reports.

“We are making good process in this early stage and are appealing to anyone who was in the vicinity of Piccadilly Gardens and may have witnessed an altercation involving a group of males yesterday just after 11pm to please come forward and speak with us.
“I also urge people who were in the area to check their mobile phones, or CCTV to see if they may have captured any footage that could be useful to our investigation, no matter how small, as any information may help us.”
