Armed robbers stabbed a man in the chest and leg before stealing his 20-year-old Ford Focus said to be worth 'about £300'. Police say the victim is in a critical condition in hospital following the apparent car jacking in Trafford on Friday.
It's understood he was visiting a friend when he was attacked by two men next to a trampoline in the front garden of a block of flats at the junction of Moss Lane and Central Road in Partington.
Witnesses have reported the robbers then appeared to try to drag him into his Ford Focus car, but neighbours heard the commotion, came outside and began 'shouting and screaming' at them to stop.
The suspects then fled along Central Road in the stolen Ford. Speaking on Sunday morning, a neighbour described the scene in the immediate aftermath of the attack.
