Greater Manchester Police are appealing for information after a man was attacked by a machete wielding trio as he parked on a street in Droylsden.
Shortly before 11.45pm on Sunday 15 April, police were called to reports of an assault on Lyme Grove.
A 24-year-old man had driven to Lyme Grove and as he parked on the street, was attacked by three men armed with bladed weapons.
The victim managed to escape and ran into a property where he raised the alarm.
He was taken to hospital where he is currently being treated for several wounds and two skull fractures.
The offenders – who all wore balaclavas - fled in the direction of Beech Avenue.
Detective Constable Jo Lockett, of GMP’s Tameside division, said: “It is appalling that a man was attacked and left in hospital at the hands of these men.
“I want to assure people that we are treating this as an isolated incident and don’t believe there to be any wider threat to the community.
“Our investigation into this incident remains ongoing and we are currently following several lines of enquiry but would urge anyone with any information to please get in touch.”
