https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-50516744




Two "vulnerable" women have been stabbed in "motiveless" street attacks which police believe may be linked.
The victims, aged 61 and 71, were assaulted in Oldham on 1 and 20 November respectively.
Greater Manchester Police said both suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries.

Det Ch Insp James Faulkner said the "violent and motiveless attacks" had targeted two "vulnerable" women, and appealed for witnesses to come forward.
The 71-year-old was stabbed on Stoneleigh Street, Derker, at about 18:00 GMT on Wednesday.
The previous attack happened at 18:30 GMT on 1 November in Longfield Crescent.

Police described the attacker as a white man, about 5ft 7in, dressed in all black clothing and wearing a black hip length jacket with a hood covering his chin.

A "frightening arsenal" of knives, stun guns and a hatchet was found at the home of a man being arrested over a baseball bat attack, police have said.
The weapons were discovered during a search of the 39-year-old's home in connection with the assault on Byrom Street, Manchester on 30 November.



Two knuckledusters, a "zombie knife", three hunting knives, three extendable batons, an air rifle were also found, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.
A 25-year-old woman was also arrested.
The pair were arrested after a man was hit with a baseball bat multiple times, fracturing his leg, at about 22:30 GMT on Saturday.
A GMP spokesman said a quantity of cocaine and heroin and three passports were also "recovered" from the address.
He said both the man and woman were held on suspicion of possession of class A drugs and possession of a prohibited firearm, with the man also being arrested on suspicion of serious assault.

There is supposed to be a 'Duty of Care' for patients in hospitals, the families should get compensation when it fails.


Cameras in every hospital room are a must as 'the lunatics have taken over the asylum' - why don't the senior hospital staff know what their staff are doing?

Another bloke who can't take rejection:

Just the type of man I despise, can't get his own way pretending to be decent and when he is rejected for not being her type, he gets abusive,  hope his parents have talked some sense into him.


It's impossible to fancy every person you meet, know or converse with, she dealt with it intelligently.

Cameras everywhere would not be popular with the majority of patients in hospitals or residents in care homes because it would violate every shred of privacy and dignity they still manage to retain. Please keep in mind the very personal nature of many of the tasks nurses and care assistants must perform. It would also lead to a mass exodus of staff willing to carry out these tasks. Care work is backbreakingly hard graft in exchange for little reward. The care sector is already facing a serious crisis caused by a shortage of personnel, and this would be greatly worsened if every member of staff felt as if they were being tarred with the same brush. Many excellent nurses and care assistants would find an alternative way of making a living if the finger of suspicion was forever pointed in their direction. I am much in favour of hidden cameras being used when there is good reason to suspect that abuse is taking place. But to utilise them across the board will, like almost all simplistic solutions, cause more problems than it solves.

Very good points Steve, it is just so frustrating, maybe there should be matron or experienced supervisors present when tending to personal care.


I just noticed a case in point where a male nurse was manhandling a frail 91year old female, 'throwing her around' - all on camera!

I remain convinced that the root cause of almost all criminal acts in the United Kingdom (and beyond) lies in the weakness and ineffectiveness of the justice system. The bad guys know that nothing very terrible is going to happen to them if they get caught. If bar stewards like those in that report in The Sun we're given ten years each with no possibility of parole then we might finally start to get somewhere.
