A number of witnesses have told the Manchester Evening News the man appeared to have been stabbed in the neck. One man, who came to the victim’s aid, said: “It was a nasty thing to see.
“I’m a trained first-aider so I rushed over and helped give him CPR. But he seemed in a bad way – his heart literally stopped as I was there.”
Inspector Matthew Hamer of GMP’s Major Incident Team said: “An active investigation has been underway since late last night and will continue into today as we look to identify those responsible.
“A scene will continue to be in place whilst we conduct further searches and enquiries with an increased police presence in the area.
“GMP are taking a robust approach to knife crime in the Greater Manchester area and this is no exception.”
Stockport Road remains closed this afternoon. Businesses in the area have been told it is expected to be shut for the majority of the day.
