British Transport Police appeal for witnesses after 13-year-old boy stabbed in Manchester
The incident took place at Piccadilly station
The British Transport Police are appealing for witnesses and dash cam footage after a 13-year-old boy was stabbed at Manchester Piccadilly railway station on Tuesday.
This comes after four teenage boys were arrested in relation to the incident, one on suspicion of GBH (wounding with intent) and the other three on suspicion of affray.
Those arrested have been released on bail pending further enquiries.
Officers had received a report of a stabbing in the short stay car park near Fairfield Street at around 12.10pm on 28th October.
The victim was taken to hospital upon paramedics’ arrival, and his injuries are not life-threatening or life-changing.
He has since been discharged from hospital.
Several arrests were made after a 13-year-old boy was stabbed outside Manchester Piccadilly yesterday.
We’re appealing for witnesses and dash cam footage.

Detective Inspector Stephen Kite described the incident as “shocking” and said it took place “in broad daylight in front of a number of horrified onlookers.”
“We have spoken to a number of witnesses alongside many other enquiries we’re working on,” he continued, “but we believe there may be other people who saw what happened and have yet to come forward.
“We also believe there were people who had been driving past who may have captured important dash cam footage showing what happened.
“I urge those people to make contact with us as quickly as possible. We will not tolerate violence on the railway network and will do everything we can to bring justice to those responsible.”
Witnesses and those with information can contact the British Transport Police by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40, using the reference 254 of 28 October.
Information can also be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
