A 'frail' man in his 80s was struck with a weapon before tragically dying in hospital, the Manchester Evening News understands.
He was rushed to hospital from the scene but died a short time later. A 50-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is in custody for questioning.The Manchester Evening News understands that the victim, who a neighbour described as 'lovely' and 'frail', was attacked with an 'offensive weapon' - which was not a knife.
Witnesses reported seeing a number of police cars and ambulances arriving at the scene on blue lights before a large cordon was put in place and the road was blocked off. An evidence tent was erected outside a house as forensics continued to carry out investigations throughout the evening and overnight.
Detective Inspector Lee Shaw from GMP’s Major Incident Team said: “Our thoughts remain with the family of the man who has sadly died. Our Family Liaison Officers continue to liaise with them and ensure they are fully updated. We have launched an investigation to piece together the full circumstances surrounding his death.
