Neighbours heard 'screaming' and saw youths 'carted off' after mayhem broke out in a Rochdale suburb. Residents say 'more than 100' people were seen causing chaos in Castleton on Saturday evening (July 8) following a house party that 'got out of hand'.
The incident began to unfold on Charlton Street, on the new-build estate off Manchester Road, where the carnage continued. Greater Manchester Police says it was called out to reports of anti-social behaviour and issued a 48-hour dispersal order, ending tonight (Monday), following the mayhem.
Footage showed officers urging the teenagers to clear off the road to allow a bus to pass, an altercation near a wall and youths running along Manchester Road. Residents told the Manchester Evening News of their shock at what had unfolded during 'unprecedented' scenes.
