A 12-year-old boy was left injured after being ‘attacked with a weapon’ in a random assault by a man in a car. The incident was reported in Timperley last Friday (November 21).
Greater Manchester Police have issued an urgent appeal after the victim was approached by the unknown man. It’s understood the car the suspect was driving pulled up on the kerb along Stockport Road at around 6.30pm.
It was then reported that the driver got out of the vehicle before ‘jabbing’ the victim three times with a weapon and making off again. The young victim, who was with friends, ran away.
It is thought the suspect, who has not yet been identified, was driving a white Nissan Qashqai. Anyone who witnessed the incident is being urged to contact police immediately.
In a post shared publicly on social media, the victim’s mum shared pictures of his injuries and wrote: “Just wanted to post this to let parents be aware to be extra vigilant.”
She added her son had been ‘stabbed three times by a random person who pulled up and attacked him at 6.30pm on Stockport Road’ and that the attack was ‘completely unprovoked’.
