A yet-to-be-identified 22 year old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder of a 43-year-old woman who was stabbed to death and two other people left with life-threatening injuries.
According to the BBC, the arrested man has been held in custody where he is set to be interviewed by detectives.
Police were called to Barnard Road in Gorton at about 23:20 BST on Sunday after reports three people had been stabbed.
The woman died at the scene while a 17-year-old girl and a 64-year-old man were taken to hospital for treatment.
The injured girl and man suffered “serious stab wounds” in the attack and their condition is “believed to be life-threatening at this time”, the police said
Barnard Road has been closed off while officers investigate behind a police cordon.
Three forensic tents have been put up, one in a garden, one in the road, and one at a property in the street.
Initial inquiries suggest the suspect, aged 22, was known to the victims, Greater Manchester Police said.
