Officers are focusing on Bury again today following a triple stabbing and an incident at a Metrolink station. Police have been monitoring events across the town in the wake of a horrific triple stabbing outside Bury Market on Monday (March 11).
Two 17-year-old boys and a 16-year-old boy were arrested on suspicion of violent disorder in connection with the attack, which left three people injured off Murray Street, and later bailed. A fourth boy, aged 17, was arrested on suspicion of Section 18 assault before being released with no further action.
