A man is in hospital after he was shot on a busy road in Levenshulme.
Emergency services were called to the A6 Stockport Road, at the junction of Matthews Lane, after a gunman opened fire last night (Monday).
The stretch was sealed off, with a large number of police vehicles and paramedics seen within the cordon.
The victim was taken to hospital in an ambulance.
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said the man's injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.
The shooting happened just before 5.15pm on Monday, October 7, outside the Canadian Charcoal takeaway.
Police erected a 200m cordon around the scene and specialist officers could be seen examining the road for evidence.
The road closures have since been lifted.
A takeaway worker, who gave his name as Awat, said: "I heard what I though was fireworks.
"When I came back, a guy was on the floor.
