Pupils fled from a man they feared had a gun as he intervened in a school fight. Students from The Radclyffe School and Newman RC College in Chadderton, Oldham, clashed 'in high jinx' last Thursday as both sets of Year 11 leavers unusually departed at the same time.
It is understood that a number had met up for an egg, flour and water fight, which has become somewhat of a tradition for those finishing secondary. But while pupils from both schools were caught up in the anti-social behaviour, a member of the public decided to intervene.
Video footage shared on social media appeared to show the man get out of a car and approach the group of young people who had gathered near Freehold tram stop. He can be seen talking to the students before holding one of their bikes in the air.
