Two suspects have been released on bail after a teenage boy was reportedly stabbed at a park. Police were called to reports of an incident at Albert Park, Broughton, at around 4pm on Tuesday (May 31).

A 15-year-old boy was taken to hospital. Greater Manchester Police arrested two men. In an update on Wednesday, the force said the pair have since been released on bail.

A woman living opposite the park said: "It’s horrible, it’s usually a quiet park with families and people running."

Another person said: "I was home at 4pm and I saw loads of police and they wouldn’t let me on the park.

"I’ve just found out now that it’s a kid who got stabbed, it's really shocking."

On Tuesday afternoon, a spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said: "Officers were called to Albert Park Road in Salford to a report of a stabbing at 4pm today (31 May 2022). Emergency services attended and a 15-year-old boy was taken to hospital."
