Greater Manchester Police have charged a 17-year-old male with four counts of assault of an emergency worker, including a section 47 assault.

Officers were carrying out a ‘hospital guard’ on the suspect when they were attacked. 

The male had been taken into police custody after the force launched a major crackdown on known gang members following a number of shootings in Harpurhey.

Over the last 48 hours, a total of nine addresses were raided by officers in a bid to bring a halt to the worrying increase in gang-related violence in the area.

The Manchester Evening News has reported that Six men, aged between 16 and 31, were arrested on suspicion of firearms offences and criminal damage. 

Officers took five of them into custody while one was taken to hospital after complaining of feeling unwell.

Whilst posted to a hospital guard on the suspect, four officers were attacked with one of the officers suffering serious bite marks to his arms. 

Another officer suffered an injury to his leg. Both have since been discharged from hospital.

Before you go...

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?

Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.

We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.

How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.

    Rabies shots might not be appropriate for those bitten, but hepatitis most certainly should be along with prophylactic antibiotics and anti-virials. One can only hope the attacker ‘weapons’ were smashed to prevent further attacks…
