Two men aged 25 and 33 have today, Wednesday 25 March, been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and remain in police custody.
At around 11.40pm on Friday 20 March, a 28-year-old man was attacked with a machete on Edward Street in Lower Broughton, near to the Palatine pub.
He suffered severe stab wounds to the neck, back and chest and was taken to hospital in a critical condition, but has since been discharged.
