Videos and pictures showing "hundreds of youths" gathering to celebrate Pakistan Independence Day have gone viral on social media.
The celebrations took place last night (14th August) where mainly male youths blocked the road causing chaos to traffic and other pedestrians. Despite Greater Manchester still having local restrictions imposed, these were ignored by the youths celebrating.
The celebrations have been widely criticised by community leaders as well as Greater Manchester Police. Many users on social media have expressed their outrage and embarrassment.
