Police have been patrolling a street in Bolton after forcing their way into a home in the early hours.

The man was taken to hospital and police remained at the scene for hours, into the afternoon.
One resident in the area, who wished not to be named, said police were asking questions door-to-door this morning, enquiring if residents had heard any disturbances and if everyone in the area had been socially distancing.
The resident said police left the street shortly after 12.30pm.
Police have confirmed that no arrests have been made and no one is currently being sought in relation to the incident.
