A man has been arrested after poo was smeared on the windows of the new £22m Gorton hub.
Police were called to reports of a disturbance at the centre on Monday afternoon.
Visitor Ellie Porter said a man arrived in the main area with a broom and bags of 'manure' before smearing it on walls, chairs, tables and windows.

The man was playing Beethoven and muttering vulgar statements towards security and police, according to Ellie.
She added: "I'd left the area and stood inside the toilets waiting for my partner as he was throwing cartons full of the manure around the waiting area.
"By the time I met back up with my partner, we were directed out. However, at this point, he'd smeared it all around the four main walls in the atrium."
Police arrived about 12.30pm on Monday (January 23) and made an arrest.
The Gorton Hub in Garrett Way opened in November, last year, and offers a library, GP surgery, children's area and Jobcentre under one roof. A café is set to open later this year.
A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said: "At around 11am on 23 January 2023, officers were called to reports of a disturbance on Garratt Way, Manchester.
"Officers attended and it was established that a man in his 30s had caused some superficial damage to the inside of a building. No one was injured. One man in his 30s arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and possession of bladed article."
