Man dies after ‘injuries’

POLICE are investigating the death of a man in Swinton who suffered ‘injuries’ on Friday night.

Witnesses reported a major response from police and the ambulance service around 8pm.

A man was seen being given CPR on Dudley Road before being taken away in an ambulance.

In a statement issued yesterday morning, Greater Manchester Police said the man sadly died in hospital.

An investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death are being investigated.

It is not yet clear if the death is being treated as suspicious or not.

Police said they were called by the ambulance service over reports of a man that had ‘sustained injuries’.

The corner of Station Road and Dudley Road has remained cordoned off by police.

Officers appear to be carrying out investigations inside a first-floor flat while detectives were going door-to-door last night.

One witness said: “We came home last night and all the police were there.

“They were giving the man CPR before they took him off.

“It’s always kicking off there - we’ve been woken up by people screaming and fighting before.”

A police investigation continues.

GMP said in a statement: “Shortly before 8pm on Friday, 20 September, police were called by the ambulance service to Station Road, Swinton regarding reports that a man had sustained injuries.

“Despite best efforts of emergency services staff, the man sadly later died in hospital.

“GMP officers attended the scene and the circumstances around the death are currently being investigated.”
