A 16-year-old boy is in a serious condition in hospital after he was attacked and stabbed in a park, police said.
The teenager was knifed in his cheek and in his neck while he was in St Mary's Park, in Bury, Greater Manchester, on Saturday night.
He was found bleeding at 9.40pm and treated by paramedics at the scene before being taken to hospital.
He is in a "serious but stable" condition, according to a Greater Manchester Police spokesman.
The spokesman said: "He was stabbed in his left cheek and in a main artery in his neck, so at least twice.
"At this moment, while investigations are at an early stage, we do not have any more information about the incident.
"We are appealing for anyone who saw or heard anything to please come forward."
Forensic officers have already searched the scene of the attack.
The stabbing comes a day after another teenager was shot three times while cycling through a park in Stretford, Greater Manchester. He is in a comfortable condition in hospital.
