The horror incident prompted local residents to tell the Manchester Evening News how they wanted to move house as they shared fears about the rise in crime in the local area.
Two men were initially arrested on suspicion of attempted murder but have since been bailed. However police say there are other suspects they have identified who they believe are linked to the attack.
In total, five suspects were taken into custody for questioning - however no further updates on those arrested have been provided by the force.
Now, further police intelligence has identified an 'increase in violent incidents' in the locality.
