Police forensic officers are scouring Manchester’s Victoria station after a man stabbed three people, including a British Transport Police officer, during New Year’s Eve celebrations. The former chief constable of Greater Manchester police Sir Peter Fahy commended the courage of the officers who dealt with the station incident. “It would certainly appear police officers showed incredible bravery in tackling the attacker at Manchester’s Victoria station last night, saving lives,” he said. Greater Manchester police said the cordon at the station would be lifted soon, but a large police presence would remain in place. Man stabbed in Manchester Victoria station on tram platform.
