Hunt in Tameside for ‘knifeman’

Greater Manchester Police were involved in a manhunt following reports of a person with a knife in Tameside.

Officers were called to Clarendon Place yesterday (10 September) afternoon after what is believed to have been a disturbance at a shop.

Reports say a witness saw a person running away with a knife in his pocket and the force helicopter was involved in the ensuing search.

A police spokesperson later said they do not believe the suspect to have been carrying a knife.

Enquiries are ongoing.
