A 12-year-old has been arrested along with three teenagers on suspicion of murdering a man in Manchester.

Two of the teenagers are aged 16 and the other is aged 17.

All four of the youths remain in custody for questioning. 

Police responded to reports that a man had been assaulted late on Wednesday evening on Warrington Street. Upon arrival, they found a man in his forties with serious injuries. He was taken to hospital and died upon arrival.
