Superintendent Stephen Wiggins said: "This will undoubtedly be a concerning incident to be waking up to, not just for those who live and work in the city centre, but for the whole of Greater Manchester."
"I would like to reassure the community that we believe this is a targeted incident, and there is no wider threat to the general public," he added.
In an update later on Saturday, he added: "After exploring many lines of enquiries, I can confirm that this is not a hate crime of any nature, and I think it is important to share that update due to the locality of the incident."
Police are appealing for witnesses or people with any information about the incident to contact them.
