Investigations continuing into 'senseless' Cheetham Hill stabbing that left man, 26, seriously injured
by James Holt · Manchester Evening NewsInvestigations are continuing into a 'senseless' Cheetham Hill stabbing that left a 26-year-old man with serious and 'life-changing' injuries.
Greater Manchester Police have confirmed enquiries are ongoing into the horror attack on Beckenham Road at around 9pm last Wednesday (October 23).
A scene remained in place overnight and throughout Thursday as police worked to investigate what led up to the 'senseless attack', with residents telling the M.E.N they saw a man 'smashing up a car' before police were called.

One man said he had looked out the window after hearing 'unusual revving' at around 9pm. "I saw one man smashing in the window of a car while a man was in it," he said. "It was the first time I've ever seen anything like that around here."
The M.E.N understands the incident took place in the middle of Beckenham Road, which neighbours the busy Cheetham Hill Road. On Thursday afternoon, just two small areas of the police cordon remained, as officers patrolled the area.
No arrests have been made in connection with the incident, however the investigation remains ongoing.
Previously, Detective Sergeant Gabriela Espinoza Castro, from GMP’s City of Manchester district, said: "This was a senseless attack which has left a man with serious injuries – there could have easily been much more severe consequences.
“I would urge anyone with any information to please get in touch with us – your information could prove hugely beneficial.”
