Screams were heard after a man fell from a cherry picker at Bury Market today. The victim, a council worker, who was putting up a Christmas tree, plunged through a glass canopy this morning.

Emergency services raced to the scene and the man, aged 30, was rushed to hospital with serious injuries. Shop workers have told of how they heard 'screaming' before the man fell from the cherry picker and through a glass canopy.

Pictures from the scene show the yellow cherry picker on its side after overturning outside the market, next to shards of smashed glass. Onlookers reported seeing a man being treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to hospital.
