Two men have been left with serious injuries, after a stabbing in Salford.
Police were called to Cromwell Road, at around 7pm yesterday (26/3/2023), following an altercation.
The men's injuries are non-life threatening.
Greater Manchester Police say no arrests have been made, and an investigation's been launched to try and figure out the circumstances.
Overnight, officers were given extra powers to stop and search powers in the area.
Last night, Inspector Stephen Corless of GMP's Salford District said: “We have authorised stop-and-search powers in the area in response to the incident this evening.
"This type of incident will not be tolerated and GMP will take robust action to ensure that our communities feel safe and that offenders are brought to justice.
"While an investigation continues at pace to understand the circumstances behind this incident, we are determined to do whatever is in our power to prevent any further incidents like this taking place in Salford.
“That is why heightened stop-and-search powers have been introduced in the Broughton area of Salford to allow officers to prevent anyone found carrying weapons to be free to walk our streets.”
"I would urge members of the public who saw anything suspicious or witnessed the incident to come forward and report information to us immediately."
