Police are appealing for the public’s help to identify a man after a 19-year-old was stabbed in his car as he waited at some traffic lights.
At around 9pm on Sunday 19 June, police were called to reports of an assault in Manchester City Centre.
A 19-year-old man was driving a red Nissan Micra along Mancunian Way before stopping at the traffic lights at the junction of London Road and Downing Street.
A grey/blue family sized car with two men on board also stopped at the traffic lights, beside the Nissan.
Following a short discussion between the occupants of the cars, the passenger from the grey/blue car got out and stabbed the driver of the Nissan in the upper chest with a sharp implement, possibly a knife.
The attacker then got back into the blue/grey car and left the scene.
The 19-year-old man was taken to hospital where he was treated for serious stab wounds.
The attacker is described as a white man, around 5ft 9ins and in his late 30s. He is of a large, chubby build with a bald/shaven head and no facial hair. He was wearing a black hooded jacket.
The driver of the blue/grey car is described as a white man, of a chubby build with grey or white styled hair.
Detective Sergeant Mark Astbury of GMP’s City of Manchester Team, said: “This was a completely unprovoked attack that has left the victim with a nasty injury to his lung and chest.
“I’m appealing to anyone who may have seen something. There were a lot of vehicles in the area at that time and I am particularly interested in anyone with a vehicle that has a dashboard camera, which may have captured the incident.”
Anyone with information should contact police on 101 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
