Police have confirmed that the stabbing of three people on New Year’s Eve at Manchester Victoria Station is being treated as a terror-related incident.
Two people remain in hospital after what police have called a “horrific attack” that happened shortly before 9pm ahead of the start of the new year. Two knives were recovered from the scene, and a property is being searched. A man, 25 years of age, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after the attack. Three people were taken to hospital, including two members of the public and a police officer. It is thought their injuries were serious but not life-threatening.
Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn have tweeted following the attack and have paid tribute to the emergency services.
