A murder investigation is underway in Salford after a man was found stabbed near Clarendon Park.

Police were called by ambulance crews just after midnight on Tuesday December 27 and the unnamed man died a short time later.

No arrests have been made, but Greater Manchester Police believe this is an "isolated" incident and there's no wider threat to the public.

Senior Investigating Officer Detective Superintendent Natalie Dalby, said:"We will continue to investigate what we believe to be an isolated incident, with no wider risk to the public.

"These are the very early stages of what is now a murder investigation, and a team of detectives are working tirelessly to piece together information and evidence.

"We will be following-up a number of different lines of enquiry we have to ensure those responsible are brought to justice."

Extra officers will be out in the Salford District in the coming days to offer reassurance to people there.

Police are also appealing for any CCTV footage from the time.
