"It's vile," the witness told the M.E.N. "I've seen some s**t around here, but that's top of it, that is. It was three girls who did it. They attacked one girl. I heard the screams, but at first I just thought they were playing. But then I realised they had thrown bleach all over her."

Another resident called the incident 'absolutely shocking'.

Greater Manchester Police have been contacted for comment.
