No arrests were made and investigations are now being carried out. Pictures taken at the scene last night showed a number of officers stationed at the cordon.

The pub confirmed the incident was 'nothing to do with them' and instead happened nearby. A post on The Red Beret pub's Facebook page last night said: "Hi All.

"We have had a few concerned customers worried something has happened in the pub but we are glad to say the issue happened across the road and nothing to do with us."

In a statement, a Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said: "Officers were called to Cornishway in Wythenshawe at around 4.30pm to reports a man had been assaulted.
