A 62-year-old man has been rushed to hospital with serious injuries after being stabbed in a shopping centre car park in Salford.

At around 4:25pm yesterday afternoon (Tuesday 10 January 2023) officers were called to the Salford Precinct, Heywood Way.

Officers investigating what happened believe it to be an isolated incident, and they'll remain at the scene to carry out further enquiries.

GMP are now appealing to the public for help in finding the suspect.

Detective Sergeant Gareth Bannister of GMP’s Salford District said: "I would like to reassure the public first and foremost that this is an isolated incident, and our officers are leaving no stone unturned to locate the suspect in question.

"Our officers will remain in the local area to conduct further enquiries this evening and we have an increased number of patrolling officers across the centre of Salford to provide further reassurance to our community.

"If you were at Salford Precinct this afternoon, saw anything suspicious, saw the suspect in question or have any information no matter how small it may be, this could be a huge help in locating the suspect and achieving justice for the victim."
