Two police officers injured in 'unprovoked' knife attack in street as air ambulance lands
Two police officers were injured in what has been described as an 'unprovoked' knife attack in the street on Wednesday afternoon .
Officers had initially been responding to a collision involving a moped, which had sped away from them after it was spotted being 'driven erratically' a short while earlier.An unknown man, who police believe is unconnected to the moped crash, then suddenly launched at the two officers with a knife and attacked them. One male officer was taken to hospital, and both received injuries not thought to be life-threatening or life-changing and are being supported.
On Thursday Greater Manchester Police issued a new appeal for witnesses and information as they continue to investigate and say they are treating the 'unprovoked' attack as 'isolated' with no threat to the wider community. Detective Inspector Gary Kelly from the City of Manchester, who is leading the investigation said: “Firstly, I would like to reassure the public that this is an isolated incident, and we are confident that there is no wider risk to the community. The 26-year-old man we arrested at the scene remains in custody, and enquiries are still ongoing.
