London, Oct 11 (Xinhua): Counter-terrorism police are leading the investigation after five people were stabbed close to a shopping center in the British city of Manchester, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said Friday.

In an update statement, police said specialist officers are continuing to respond to an incident at the Arndale shopping center in downtown Manchester.

They confirmed that five people have been stabbed and taken to hospital.
