The boy was attacked in Bridgeman Street
A 10-year-old boy has been stabbed and is being treated in a Bolton hospital.
A man, aged 18, was later arrested in connection with the knifing near Bridgeman Street in Great Lever.
Emergency crews were called at about 13:15 BST, but the stabbing is being treated as an "isolated incident", Greater Manchester Police said.
The boy is described as being in a stable condition and the suspect is being held on suspicion of assault, the force said.
A witness told the Manchester Evening News there were five to six ambulances and up to seven police cars at the scene.
