A 14-year-old boy was stabbed on the ninth floor of Manchester Arndale Centre's car park at around 3.15pm on Saturday afternoon. Emergency services attended the scene, and armed response units and a Tactical Aid Unit team were deployed. The boy was taken to hospital with serious injuries, though police said they were not believed to be life-threatening or life-changing.
Greater Manchester Police said the stabbing is believed to have been an isolated incident. The BBC understands a row with other males had taken place beforehand, and the Manchester Evening News reports the altercation occurred moments after a shoplifting incident in the Arndale Centre itself. The Evening News also reports it is believed more than one person was hurt during the incident, though this has not been confirmed by police.
No arrests have been made in connection with the stabbing. The Arndale was closed for several hours after the attack. Police enquiries are continuing.
