A teenage boy has been left seriously injured following an attack in Levenshulme.

Shortly before 6pm on Friday 5 August 2016, police were called to reports of an assault in the Chapel Street Park area.

On attendance officers discovered a 16-year-old boy with serious injuries to his head.

He was taken to hospital where he remains in a serious but stable condition.

“A 16-year-old boy has been badly injured with what we believe could be a hammer, but we are still following a number of lines of enquiry."
