(about 5 hours later) | |
A 13-year-old boy arrested over the stabbing of another teenager will face no further action. | |
The victim, 15, from Manchester, remains in hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said. | |
He was found unconscious at 19:10 BST on Tuesday on Worsley Avenue, Moston, Manchester. | |
Police said a knife had been recovered but it was too early to speculate on the motive. There was no evidence to suggest it was gang-related. | |
The 13-year-old was arrested on suspicion of wounding but has since been eliminated from inquiries, Greater Manchester Police confirmed. | |
Ch Supt Was Chaudhry said the victim was in a "very serious condition" and "he continues to fight for his life". | |
