As Manchester woke up, one of its busiest roads had ground to a halt in the aftermath of a deadly attack. A murder investigation is underway following the death of a 30-year-old man who was assaulted in a traffic light 'altercation' on Kingsway, in Parrs Wood, Didsbury.
Emergency services had rushed to the man's aid at around 1.40am today (January 23), but police say he died from his injuries a short time later. A large cordon was already in place along the A34 well before rush hour this morning, between Queensway and the Parrs Wood Lane junction, where the incident had took place.
Rumours had already begun to surface of a shooting, but it's understood these were incorrect. The Manchester Evening News understands the victim was found with stab wounds following the attack.

Didsbury East councillor Andrew Simcock has since urged residents 'not to speculate' following the tragedy, which was described by officers as 'isolated'. Several Greater Manchester Police vehicles were in place at the junction with Parrs Wood Lane this morning as enquiries took place.
They included two crime scene investigation vans, with forensic officers gathering bags of evidence and images from the taped-off stretch of road. A number of evidence markers were placed down on the northbound carriageway, which would usually be packed with commuters heading from Cheadle and Wilmslow towards the city centre.
On the opposite side of Kingsway, a white coach and a grey Mercedes-Benz - seen with its front passenger window open - remained inside the cordon. The stretch of A34 remained closed into this afternoon while police continued working at the scene.
