A cyclist stopped traffic when he stumbled into the road after being knifed in the chest. The 36-year-old was on Ashton Road in Denton, at the junction with Frederick Street, at 4.30pm last Wednesday when he was approached by his attacker and punched, knocking him off his mountain bike. He stumbled into the middle of the road, causing traffic to stop, but the knifeman followed and continued to beat him even as he lay on the floor. The offender, described as a black man, searched him for valuables before making off towards Audenshaw. The victim then realised he had been stabbed and was taken to Tameside Hospital. Police believe there were a number of witnesses to the incident, outside Oasis Tanning Centre on 31 October, and are appealing for them to come forward. They are particularly keen to speak to two women who were sitting on steps at the junction of Tame Street and Ashton Road who spoke to the victim and gave him a cigarette seconds before the attack took place.Call Tameside CID on 8569255 or Crimestoppers, free and in confidence, on 0800 555 111.

We are told that Tameside is one of the safest places to live in England. What complete nonsense indeed. Not a day goes by with out someone being attacked in the street or knifed. An old lady was mugged on Concord way the other day by a drug addict just out of jail.
Whatever you do don't go to Councillor John Taylor for any kind of representation he will invite the thug round for tea.
Hey John Taylor are the thugs at your house?
The police went round to John Taylor's house and found the culprit sitting on a chair with his feet up having a cup of tea.
