The girl was arrested after three people were hurt at the school on Plant Hill Road, Manchester

A girl has been arrested after three people were injured at a school in Manchester.

She was arrested after they suffered knife injuries at the Co-op Academy on Plant Hill Road in Blackley.

The victims' injuries are not believed to be serious at this time, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.

Emergency services remain on scene and the force said officers were supporting the school, which has said it will remain closed until the end of the day.

There is not believed to be any wider threat to the pupils and staff, GMP added in a statement released just after 09:00 BST.

Police said none of the injuries were believed to be serious

A police presence remains at the high school.

Crowds that had gathered outside the gates have now cleared, with three police cars parked up on Plant Hill Road.

Co-op Academy and the Co-op Academy Trust, which is responsible for running the school, have been contacted for comment by the BBC.
