Police are at the scene of serious incident in Bolton amid reports that a young girl has been stabbed.

Eyewitnesses say they saw the victim being given CPR as two adults stood "covered in blood" nearby.

The girl is said to have been attacked by two women who then ran off across the park.

Police have confirmed they are dealing with an incident.

Emergency services were called to park on Sunday afternoon and there were reports that an Air Ambulance helicopter also attended the scene.

Several police cars could be seen parked outside and entrances to the park have been cordoned off.
