Police believe the driver hit a kerb and ran off but was chased by the occupants of another car who attacked him and drove away.
The attack was at the junction of Chester Road and Chorlton Road
A motorist has been stabbed a number of times near a busy slip road in Greater Manchester.
The 23-year-old victim was attacked just before 3pm at the
junction of Chester Road and Chorlton Road off the Mancunian Way, close
to Manchester City centre.He is in a stable condition in hospital where he is being treated for two stab wounds to his leg.
Police say he was driving a Vauxhall Astra and officers believe both he and the driver of another car were speeding along Chorlton Road before the Astra hit the kerb.
The driver got out and ran off but was chased by the occupants of the other car and then stabbed a number of times.
Officers are still searching for the attackers who drove away from the scene.
It is believed that four men, aged between 25 and 35, were involved. Three were Asian and one was black.
Detective Inspector Aidy Gallagher, based at North Manchester, said: "A man is in hospital with stab wounds, but at this stage we believe they are not too serious.
"From what we know so far it appears the Astra and another car were driving at speed along Chorlton Road when the Astra hit the kerb and stopped.
"He ran off but was pursued by the people in the other car and then stabbed.
"Earlier indications suggest this is not a road rage incident, but we are keeping an open mind about the exact circumstances.
"We are now appealing for witnesses, so if anyone saw these cars speeding down Chorlton Road, or the stabbing incident itself, then please call police."
