Neighbors in affluent Sale, Greater Manchester, heard “screams” and said they saw dozens of people on the street moments before the attack. It is alleged that a dispute took place at a children’s party, which spilled over on a residential street where the knife stabbing took place.
Emergency services rushed to the address and took the boy, believed to be in his early teens, to hospital.
He remains there with life-threatening injuries, reports Manchester Evening News.
A neighbor said: “There was a lot of noise.
“It was a birthday party. I couldn’t hear the TV because it was so loud.”
Janet Stonehur, who lives on the road, said she heard a group of girls “screaming” at the time of the stabbing.
Several of them shouted “no, no, no,” she continued.
“I just thought the young people were drinking, but when I looked out the window before going to bed, I saw the blue police tape on the other side of the road. I went outside and a policeman said there was an incident and someone was stabbed. “
Another man said he heard the “hysterical” screams of a young girl behind his home before police came to the scene.
Part of the residential street was cordoned off yesterday as police investigated the attack.
No detainees have been detained in connection with the attack.
A spokesman for the Manchester Greater Manchester Police said: “We were called at 10.25pm on Saturday 16 April to signal that a teenager had been stabbed on Baguli Lane, Sale.
“The boy was taken to hospital with a serious wound that is not considered life-threatening.
“He remains in stable condition while receiving treatment. No arrests have been made and investigations are ongoing.”
