Police are investigating an ‘altercation’ between a group of men on a motorway bridge in Tameside.
Officers were called to the motorway bridge on Lord Sheldon Way, in Ashton-under-Lyne, following reports of an altercation involving a group of men near to the fire station.
Those officers investigating the report now want to trace a red Transit Van which was seen on the bridge before it drove off in the direction of Guide Bridge.
The van is red and it has a distinctive white-coloured sliding door on the passenger side, Greater Manchester Police say.
There were no reported injuries, but officers are working to establish the full circumstances of the incident.
Detectives have also released CCTV images of two men they want to speak to in connection with the incident - which happened at around 6.20pm on Saturday (July 6).
“We’re keen to speak to the men in these images in connection with this incident,” Detective Inspector Alison Whittaker, of GMP’s Tameside district, said.
“We’ve been conducting enquiries since this was reported to us, and we are now appealing for the public’s help.
“If you saw anything, or if have any information about the red Transit van with white sliding door, please get in touch with police as soon as possible."
Anyone with information should contact Tameside CID on 0161 856 9216, quoting incident 1946 of 06/07/19 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
