Terror police are investigating a stabbing at a school in Manchester after a 14-year-old girl allegedly stabbed a teacher in the neck and 'attacked two other students'. The 27-year-old male teacher, along with a 14-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl, were taken to hospital.

Police said the 14-year-old girl sustained a shoulder injury, the 14-year-old boy was injured in the ear, and the teacher suffered a stab wound to the neck. A 14-year-old schoolgirl was arrested on suspicion of section 18 assault after police were called to reports of multiple stabbings at the Co-op Academy on Plant Hill Road in Blackley, Greater Manchester, at about 8.30am on Tuesday, June 9. After being assessed by health professionals, the teenager was released back into police custody where she remains.

Counter Terrorism Policing North West has assumed responsibility for the investigation, working alongside Greater Manchester Police after further enquiries revealed new information.
