A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a woman was stabbed 'numerous times' in Manchester.

The woman, 30, is fighting for her life following the incident at the junction of Shadowmoss Road and Cornishway in Wythenshawe at about 1.05am on Sunday (30 October).

She was taken to hospital with multiple stab wounds and injuries to her head and neck and remains in a critical condition.

Officers attended and a 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. He remains in police custody for questioning.

According to the Mirror, police forensics teams have been combing the area. A neighbour near the house being searched today told the Mirror he could hear shouting and screaming during the incident.
