PCSO Stabbed In The Neck In Manchester

Thoughts and prayers go out to the 47 year old PCSO stabbed in the neck in Manchester today, as well as to his family, his friends and his colleagues.

According to BBC News the as yet un-named PCSO remains in a critical condition after undergoing a second emergency operation.

The PCSO was attempting to serve an eviction notice on a man at Elizabeth Avenue, Stalybridge, Manchester, when the attack took place.

I shall refrain from partaking in the whole PCSO / Police debate, which seems to be being stirred up in the press, as a mark of respect to an unarmed officer in uniform attacked whilst performing his duty.

Here's the latest GMP statement as of 2300hrs 4/12/2006.
