Investigation continues after man seriously injured in Bolton incident

Greater Manchester Police have confirmed there is no further update following the incident in Spinning Meadows, Halliwell, on Friday afternoon (August 7).

Officers were called to the quiet cul-de-sac at around 2.25pm following reports of a man with injuries “consistent with a knife wound”.

A large number of police officers attended the scene, while an air ambulance also landed at the grounds of nearby Bolton Rugby Club.

The man was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Several police vehicles were at the scene, with a section of the road taped off between two houses.

Ambulance crews were also in attendance, with some arriving by helicopter.

Eyewitnesses reported that a “machete” had been involved in the attack, although this has not been confirmed by police.

Other witnesses said they had heard people at the scene suggesting the incident may have been connected to “bikes”.

However, this remains unconfirmed and is based solely on reports from people at the scene.

An emergency crew member was seen carrying a bleed kit, which is used to treat serious wounds.
