An air ambulance landed in Bolton on Sunday afternoon (October 2) amid reports of a stabbing. Emergency services swarmed to Longsight Park, in the Harwood area following the incident, at around 2.30pm.
There are unconfirmed reports of a male being 'stabbed' in an 'attempted carjacking' according to ward councillor Mudasir Dean, who is the cabinet member for safer communities and policing at Bolton council. He added he did not believe the injuries to be serious.
Police helicopters circled overhead around the area throughout Sunday afternoon. It is not yet known if any arrests have been made in relation to the incident.
"I went out to the scene myself," Councillor Dean said. "I had been contacted by multiple people about all the police helicopters in the area. I believe it was an attempted carjacking and a man was stabbed but that his injuries are not thought to be serious."
It is understood the incident happened around the Longsight Park area of Harwood, north of Bolton town centre, on Sunday afternoon. The air ambulance landed in an area just off Hough Fold Way.
Further details about the nature of the incident have not yet been confirmed. The Manchester Evening News has contacted Greater Manchester Police for more information.
