Police taped off a street in south Manchester last night after a fight broke out.

The brawl broke out between a group of people on Parsonage Road at around 9.30pm. One person was taken to hospital from the scene, a spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said.

Their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. An investigation into a 'suspected assault' is now ongoing, the police spokesperson added.

A cordon was put in place after the incident last night, with a stretch of the road taped off near the junction with Wilmslow Road and the Coffee Lab cafe. Witnesses told the M.E.N that they heard 'a group of men shouting' from around 9.30pm, minutes before the emergency crews arrived.

A casualty was also reportedly lying on the pavement before being taken away in an ambulance from the scene. A resident said: "I told police we heard a large group of men shouting which went on for about 15 minutes. My neighbours said they saw people kicking someone on the floor. It was a very large group though, lots of different voices.

"I heard a woman shouting saying that somebody was bleeding. There’s definitely a problem in this area though, it’s clear as day. It is starting to feel really unsafe now. We’re definitely moving out as soon as our tenancy ends."
