On Sunday 29 December 2024, shortly after 8pm, we were called to reports of an assault and robbery on Bury Old Road, Prestwich.
Emergency services attended and located an 18-year-old male had been assaulted, receiving a stab wound to his abdomen.

The victim was taken to hospital for treatment and is believed to have suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
We believe this was a targeted attack with no wider threat to the community. No arrests have been made at this stage and enquiries are ongoing.

Detective Inspector Andy Wright from Bury CID, said: “We will not tolerate violence on our streets, and we will not stop until we have found those responsible. We understand the concerns people may have following this incident, but we want to reassure our communities that we believe this was a targeted attack and there is no wider threat to the public.

“Additional officers are in the area and will be for the coming days, to provide reassurance for local residents.

“As officers continue with their enquiries, they are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed this incident, or have any information, CCTV and vehicle dash cam footage, to contact Bury CID on 07855199574."

If you have any information, you can  also contact police via 101, or our Live Chat service at gmp.police.uk, quoting log 2876 of 29/12/2024. Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
