Greater Manchester Police are continuing to investigate several serious attacks in the underpass at Cambridge Street/Higher Cambridge Street roundabout under the Mancunian Way.
The safety and wellbeing of our University community is of utmost importance, and therefore, we strongly advise colleagues and students to stop using this route until further notice.
While the police investigate, we recommend you use an alternative route, for example along Oxford Road through the main campus to reach SODA, the Students’ Union or Birley.
We are actively working with the police to support the investigation into the incidents and will also be working with local authorities on safety measures in that area.
Safety on campus
You can also download our SafeZone app, which allows you to quickly call for security assistance when you are on or around campus – whether it’s for first aid or when you need help.
If you find yourself in an emergency or feel unsafe while exploring the city, please contact the Police straightaway by calling 999.
If you experience an incident of sexual harassment, violence, discrimination or bullying, you can submit a report on Report and Support. You can choose to report anonymously or provide your details and a trained advisor will contact you to talk through your options and arrange further support.
