The terror suspect who was arrested after a "frenzied" New Year's Eve stabbing which left three people hurt has been detained under the Mental Health Act.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said the 25 year-old, who is being held on suspicion of attempted murder, has been assessed by specialist medical staff. Police are searching his home.

A spokesman said: "The counter-terrorism investigation remains ongoing.

"There is nothing to suggest the involvement of other people in this attack, but confirming this remains a main priority for the investigation.
