Police officers were attacked as they tried to shut down an out-of-control Airbnb party where 200 people turned up.
A number of partygoers are said to have turned violent after police were called to the rented holiday property in Levenshulme, Manchester, by “terrified” neighbours at about 10.30pm on Friday.
Items were thrown at officers before the property in Delamere Road and the surrounding area were cleared.
The owner of the house is said to have been “duped” into believing it would be a much smaller gathering by the party organisers.
Detective Constable Chris Henderson said: “Not only had the partygoers duped the home owner into believing there would be far fewer people at the property, the party got out of hand.
“They terrified local residents in their own homes, then reacted with violence towards police officers when they attempted to clear the party.
“This behaviour is simply unacceptable.
"We are currently investigating crimes of violent disorder and will be reviewing CCTV to identify those involved.”
No arrests have been made but police are keen to hear from anyone who attended the party.
