A man was left with serious head injuries after a stabbing in north Manchester. Detectives are hunting for two knifemen following the attack in Harpurhey on Thursday.
Police have also been granted extra stop and search powers and will step up patrols in the area this weekend. The attack took place on Springville Avenue at around 6pm.

The victim was taken to hospital with serious, but not life threatening head injuries. Police say they are working to 'establish the events leading up to the assault and identify potential suspects'.
Section 60 powers have been authorised for an area covering much of Harpurhey and parts of Moston until 3pm on Saturday.
All that's necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing
