The stabbing of three people – including a police officer – in Manchester is being treated as a terrorist investigation, police say.
A man, aged 25, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after the attack on New Year’s Eve at the city’s Victoria railway station.
Two knives were recovered at the scene and a property is being searched in the Cheetham Hill area.
The three victims were taken to a nearby hospital with “serious” but not life-threatening injuries.
A woman, aged in her 50s, suffered injuries to her face and stomach, while a man – also in his 50s – has injuries to his stomach.
The officer, a police sergeant in his 30s, sustained knife wounds to his shoulder during the attack, but has since been released from hospital.
Manchester Victoria railway station has reopened after the stabbings.
Assistant Chief Constable Russ Jackson, of Greater Manchester Police (GMP), told reporters at a briefing at force HQ the suspect lived in the Cheetham Hill area of the city.
Earlier, officers raided a newly built semi-detached house on Schoolside Close, a mile north of Manchester city centre.
Resident Nousha Babaakachel, 40, said a Somali family live at the address, a mother and father of five, in their 40s, who came to live in the street around 12 years ago from the Netherlands.
She said two of the four sons are at university, one works at Manchester Airport and the youngest is back in Somalia. They also have a daughter.
Both parents attend the local Khiza Mosque.
