A man is in hospital with serious injuries after he was stabbed in Stretford this morning.
The emergency services were called to a disturbance on Chester Road, near to Meadow Lodge, at 4.30am.
On arrival, it was established a man in his 30s was stabbed. He was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
A man in his 20s was also arrested on suspicion of Section 18 assault.
