A passenger has described the dramatic moment '20 to 30' armed police stormed his train in the hunt for two men believed to be carrying weapons at Manchester Victoria.
Police were called to the busy city centre station at 9:14am following reports of two men carrying weapons on a train. The Manchester Evening News understands the affected train was a TransPennine Express service from Liverpool Lime Street to Leeds.
Armed officers raided the train in a 'tense' encounter, 'shouting' at passengers to remove headphones as they searched - while more officers carrying guns and shields surrounded the train on the platform.
