Manchester’s first life-saving ‘bleed safety cabinet’ has been installed in south Manchester. The cabinet was installed at The Place Library in Fallowfield on Saturday February 12 in memory of 16 year-old Rhamero West.
It is for public use in the event of a stabbing or other incident which causes blood loss. It was unveiled by the family of Rhamero, who died after he was stabbed in September last year.
