A man has been charged with attempted murder, possession of a knife and multiple other offences following a ‘disturbance’ in Altrincham town centre.
Four people were injured in the incident in the early hours of Sunday morning (November 30). Police were initially called to reports of a ‘disturbance’ on Railway Street just after 3.20am.
