Policewoman kicked and bitten while trying to break up house party in Bury

A policewoman was kicked and bitten on the hand while trying to break up a house party in Prestwich

Officers were called to reports of a gathering at a property on Sherbourne Court just before 4pm on Saturday, April 18. 

On arrival, they discovered that members of different households were present.

When a female officer asked those who didn’t live at the property to leave, she was kicked and bitten on the hand. 

Thankfully, she sustained no serious injuries.

Jade Moriarty, 29, of Ripon Avenue, Whitefield and Kieran McCluskey, 32, of Collen Crescent, Bury have since been charged with assault on an emergency worker.

They will appear before Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court on 2 June 2020.

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: “Shortly after 4pm on Saturday, April 18, 2020, officers attended a report of a party at a property on Sherbourne Court, Prestwich, where members of separate households were present.

“After asking those who didn’t live at the property to leave, a female officer was kicked and bitten on the hand. No serious injury was caused.”
