An NWAS spokesman said, said, “We were called about an incident at 11:07am, and we have attended with multiple resources including an ambulance, a rapid response vehicle and members of Hazardous Area Response Team (HART). We have taken one male patient to the hospital”.

Greater Manchester Police confirmed a 30-year-old man was in the hospital, and they were waiting to question him about the incident.

One neighbour commented “The noise was really loud like a big boom something exploding or collapsing, that’s all I can say. Scary. We heard a big blast and we didn’t think much of it at first. We thought it could be from a car. It was quite soon after that, very quickly, that we saw all the police cars. They arrived and there were fire engines too”.
