The incident happened in the Moss Side district where at that time the Caribbean Carnival festival was in progress, which meant that many people were on their feet.

According to the police, the wounded are not in danger of life. Some have only minor injuries.

The police have started a major investigation and are looking at the camera images of the neighbourhood.
