A young boy is said to be under the age of 10 years old has been rushed to hospital, amid reports of a ‘stabbing’ in Bolton.
The incident is said to have taken place on Bridgeman Street in Great Lever at around 3pm on Saturday.
Several police vehicles and ambulances, as well as an air ambulance, were reportedly at the scene this afternoon.
Unconfirmed reports suggest one person has been stabbed, but police are yet to release a statement.
A spokeswoman for North West Ambulance Service said crews attended the scene, treated one patient and took a child under the age of ten to Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.
In a statement, they confirmed the child was ‘alert’ when they attended the scene of the incident.
The boy’s next-door neighbour reportedly told the Manchester Evening News: ‘He’s just a normal, happy little boy. I can’t believe this has happened.’
Another local said: “I came out of the house and there was a helicopter circling for quite a while. We don’t know if the boy is ok and that’s really worrying.”
Resident Emma Collins said: “They’re such a quiet family, I don’t think the kids really play out. Just a really nice family.”
