Police have released pictures of two boys they want to speak to after an incident involving a knife in the Arndale shopping centre.
The incident unfolded in the Manchester city centre shopping centre on October 9 at around 8.55pm. A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said two teenage boys chased another two teenage boys through the Arndale.
They then ‘assaulted them’ as they demanded they hand over their coats and bags. Police said one of the boys then exposed a knife handle in the waistband of his trousers.
The boys took the coats and bags and fled the scene. Today (Saturday, December 12) police shared pictures of two boys they want to speak to about the incident.
Officers shared the photos online and said the boys ‘may be able to help us with enquiries’. Anyone who recognises them, or who has any information about the incident, is being urged to contact GMP.
Police can be contacted on 101 quoting 3427-09/10/2025.
