Three 'courageous' police officers attended a regular vehicle stop after spotting a moped being 'driven erratically'... but 'no one could have prepared them for how their day would end'.
Neighbourhood Sergeants Marc Foster and Tim Ansell, along with PC Marcus Wolstencroft from Greater Manchester Police, attended the incident on Wood Road, on the border of Stretford and Whalley Range on July 26 last year.
The trio had attempted to bring the driver of a moped to a stop before the bike was later involved in a collision with a car.

But while two of the officers were responding to the crash, in which an 18-year-old was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, another man, Jacob Brown, suddenly approached them and viciously attacked them with a knife in the street.
PS Foster and Ansell were in attendance speaking to those involved in the crash when Brown approached PS Foster from behind and violently attacked him with a knife.
As PS Foster struggled to defend himself, PS Ansell then came to his defence. However, once PS Foster had been pushed aside, Brown next came for PS Ansell, stabbing repeatedly at his neck. At this point, PC Wolstencroft stepped in using his taser for Brown to be restrained and detained.
This gave PS Foster the time to give lifesaving aid to PS Ansell who had received a stab wound to the neck. PS Foster received slash wounds to the neck and arms and PS Ansell suffered two open wounds to his neck, one of which required a vein to be cauterised and stitched, along with further slash wounds to his arms and body.
All three officers involved have now been nominated in the National Police
