A brave teenager was trying to save his mum from an attacker before he was stabbed to death in north Manchester, according to reports.
Police have launched an investigation into the “domestic incident” which also saw the boy’s mother “ferociously” stabbed inside a property at around 9.30pm on Thursday (June 9).
Emergency services were called to a house on Bednal Avenue in Miles Platting and rushed the victims to hospital, where the boy was sadly pronounced dead.
According to Manchester Evening News, the 14-year-old boy was “trying to defend his mum” during the horrific attack.
Authorities said enquiries suggest the attacker is “known to the victims” and that the incident is “domestic.”
They confirmed that his mother is in stable condition and is being supported by specialist officers.
In a statement Greater Manchester Police said: “A 14-year old boy was treated at the scene by the emergency services for stab wounds and was taken by ambulance to hospital, where he sadly died around an hour later.
“His mother – a woman in her 40s – was also treated at the scene for serious stab wounds and was taken to hospital where she is thankfully in a stable condition.”
