Police are continuing enquiries after a man was stabbed at a mosque in Whalley Range.
The incident took place at around 1.50pm on Friday 17 August at a mosque on Clarendon Road during prayers.
Officers attended and found an 80-year-old man with stab wounds who was taken to hospital for treatment of his serious injuries.
A man in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of section 20 assault.
Enquiries into the full circumstances around the incident are ongoing however police do not believe the crime to be hate related at this time.
Chief Inspector Faz Zaman of GMP’s City of Manchester Division, said: “People will understandably be concerned that an elderly man has been stabbed in a place of worship, but we believe there is an isolated incident.
“We are in the very early stages of our investigation and I’d encourage anyone who was around Clarendon Road, or with any information that could help our enquiries, to get in touch.”
