Car ‘rammed off the road’
ACAR was examined by forensics after reportedly being ‘rammed’ off the road before a fight erupted in Stockport last Tuesday (March 5).
Horrified residents living on Rainow Road, in Bridgehall, said a man was left bleeding after being attacked and injured when the violent scenes broke out.
There are unconfirmed reports that the affray started after a Vauxhall car was ‘rammed’ off the road and onto a grass verge on the corner of adjoining Alvanley Crescent. Moments after, police were ‘everywhere’.
Witnesses have then reported that a fight erupted, and that a man was injured and bleeding before police swarmed the residential street.
Greater Manchester Police have not yet confirmed what happened.
A woman who lives on the estate said that her children were playing out and witnessed the incident, which she said happened at around 5pm.
“They said there was a black van that crashed into the car. They came out from the van and started fighting,” she said. “One guy looked like he was hurt quite badly. He was bleeding. There was police everywhere. I just hope he’s okay.
“When they started fighting I came out and brought the kids inside. It was enough. I didn’t want to look. It’s horrible. We have children lots of people do around here. And they are often playing out there. So it is scary.
“I just don’t feel safe anymore. There’s always something happening here. That’s Bridgehall.”
Another homeowner living nearby also claimed there had been a ‘fight’ earlier in the evening.
A cordon was erected around a grassed area on the corner of Alvanley Crescent and Rainow Road throughout the evening, as forensics officers were seen inspecting and taking pictures of a Vauxhall car that was also taped off.
The car, thought to have been involved, was left with its two front doors open.
A number of police vehicles and a CSI van remained stationed at the scene amid investigations late into Tuesday night.
Greater Manchester Police did not respond when asked for further information.
