GMP Inspector Matthew Harvey of the Trafford area said: “Officers were detained quickly and the suspect was questioned in custody. Our investigations are ongoing and we will have additional staff in the area tonight and over the weekend.

I want to assure the community that we continue to work closely with our partner agencies to ensure that we keep Trafford and the wider Greater Manchester community safe and harmless.
“I would urge anyone who suspects that someone is carrying a weapon or is involved in criminal behavior to report it to us or to contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
GMP added in a statement: “As part of our #ForeverAmnesty knife change campaign, we are reminding the public that there is at least one amnesty basket at a police station in every area of Greater Manchester.
