A 15-year-old boy has been arrested following the death of another teenage boy who was stabbed in Manchester.
The teenager, also 15, was found with stab wounds around 16:30 BST on Monday, after police responded to reports of a disturbance on Monton Street, Moss Side that involved "a number of people".
A section 60 order has been put in place until Tuesday afternoon, giving police the power to stop and search people in the area.
Police said that the suspect had been arrested on suspicion of murder, and will remain in custody for questioning.
A blue forensic tent could be seen on the street earlier.
Ch Supt David Meeney, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "Our thoughts are with the victim's family and friends after this tragic and upsetting incident, and our specially trained officers will be supporting them at this difficult time.
"This incident will understandably have caused shock and concern within the community and the surrounding area, particularly those who witnessed it."
Witnesses with information are being encouraged to contact the force directly.
