Officers appealing for information following disorder in Newton Heath on Wednesday

We are appealing for information and footage following disorder in Newton Heath on Wednesday evening.

At around 6pm, officers responded after we were alerted to a group of approximately 70-100 people gathered on Oldham Road in Newton Heath, Manchester.

During the disorder, objects were thrown towards officers in attendance, although thankfully no injuries were reported.

Two members of the public received injuries, including a bus driver who had been forced to stop by the crowd, and another man who was hit by a projectile. Thankfully, neither sustained serious injuries.

Officers have now released images of people they would like to talk to, as it is believed they could help investigators with their enquiries.

Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact police.

Information can be passed by contacting police via 101 or our LiveChat function at gmp.police.uk, quoting log 1369 of 31/07/24.

Alternatively, you can contact the local CID office directly on 0161 856 1146 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
