A Stockport McDonald's has now reopened hours after a man threatened staff with a knife.
Police were called to Bredbury on Wednesday to reports of a man threatening an employee at the Whitefield Road restaurant with a weapon.
The incident sparked a large response and the site was cordoned off for several hours while police investigations took place at the restaurant, which is close to J25 of the M60.

He remains in custody for questioning.
