A section of the road remained behind a police cordon this afternoon as detectives carried out inquiries.
A resident, who asked not to be named, said the incident began with an argument between two men in a VW Golf.
"There was a lad shouting at another lad in the driver's seat 'get out the f***ing car'," the witness said.
"The lad wouldn't get out.
"This was going on for a few minutes.
"The lad kept going round to the driver's side trying to get him out.
"The other lad then drove into the bus stop, he was trying to get away from the lad shouting at him.
"Then the first lad dragged the driver out of the car and got in.
"He reversed the car away from the bus stop and then I saw the other lad on the floor.
"He was badly hurt."
"The other lad in the Golf drove off at speed towards Hyde Road."
It is understood the incident is not currently being linked to a shooting incident on nearby Jetson Street overnight.
A GMP spokesperson said: "At about 8.30am on 23 June 2021, officers were called to reports that a man had been found unconscious on Chapman Street, Openshaw.
