A 13-year-old boy was rushed to hospital on Saturday night after being attacked by four men carrying large knives outside a supermarket.

The teenager was stabbed multiple times outside an Asda in the Longsight area of Manchester at around 7pm on Saturday.

Officers from Greater Manchester Police were called to the incident amid reports of the men attacking the youth with “large bladed weapons”.

Shortly after the attack the attackers fled and police are now appealing for help in tracking them down.

The victim was said to have sustained “serious injuries” in the incident but is now in stable condition in hospital.
