CCTV footage of the moment a man was stabbed in the neck in Levenshulme has been released by detectives.
Shortly after 6am on Friday 12 August 2016, police were called to reports of a man being attacked at the junction of Matthews Lane and Lonsdale Road.
A man in his 30s suffered stab wounds to his neck and was taken to hospital where he remained in a stable condition.
The attacker is described as a light-skinned Asian man dressed in South-East Asian or north Pakistani dress. The CCTV footage can be seen on the GMP's website.
Detective Inspector Muz Kernain, from GMP’s city centre team, said: “This footage shows just how shocking this attack was on an innocent man making his way to work."
“Luckily the victim has recovered from his injuries but this could have had a tragic ending, resulting in a family losing a son."
“We are hoping this footage will bring witnesses forwarded to help us find the man responsible."
“The attacker was wearing distinctive clothes and I would urge anyone who thinks they might know him, or may have seen him that day, to please call police.”
Anyone with any information should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
