POLICE ARE appealing for information as they investigate after two men were stabbed in Oldham.
At around 3.30am on Monday 21 September 2015, a 24-year-old man and 27-year-old man were walking on Red Hall Street when they were approached by a man.
He grabbed a bag the 24 year-old man was carrying and when both victims tried to stop him, they were stabbed in the back and leg.
Both were taken to hospital and were treated for non-life threatening injuries.
A 23-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of Section 18 (Grievous bodily harm) and remains in custody for questioning.
Detective Sergeant Laura Crossley said: “Although an arrest has been made, we are still keen to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the assault.
“If you did see something suspicious, I would ask you to contact police on 0161 856 9063 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.”
