The Manchester police are investigating an incident in which an alleged robber was fatally stabbed in a struggle with his victim at Newport in Manchester.

Reports from the Mandeville police are that about 8:45 p.m. On Thursday, two men, one armed with a knife and the other armed with a firearm, approached a shop with several people.

The armed men reportedly robbed the shop owner and one of the workers of electronics, alcohol and cash.
