Tributes paid to 'loving' Oldham man who died after he was found 'covered in blood' in street

A 'funny' and 'caring' Oldham man who died after he was found on a street 'covered in blood' has been named as Wayne Hopwood.

Police were called to the scene outside Mevagissey Walk in the Greenacres area of Oldham at around 4.20am on Thursday January 12, where Hopwood was found with serious injuries. Officers say he was covered in blood on his hands, face and on his bare feet, and was rushed to hospital in a critical condition.

Hopwood tragically died on Saturday January 14. A 37-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm, but has since been bailed.
