Armed police surrounded a bus in Wythenshawe on Wednesday afternoon (September 28) shortly before a man was arrested by officers. The bus, which had been driving along Portway in Wythenshawe, near Woodhouse Park, was brought to a sudden halt at around 5.30pm, according to passengers.
Startled passengers have told of how police officers ordered those on the bottom floor to leave the bus immediately. Pictures from the incident show officers, armed with guns, pointing their weapons at the bus. Shortly after, a man was also seen in handcuffs with armed officers further along Portway.
Further details about the nature of the incident have not yet been confirmed by Greater Manchester Police.
