A man and woman were arrested on the scene
Plain-clothed officers stopped the vehicle yesterday as the two people inside - a man and a woman - were 'believed to be involved in the supply of controlled drugs', police said. But the man tried to 'fight his way out of the search' and both officers were assaulted on the roadside.
The woman was also arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs at the scene. The pair were taken into custody last night for questioning. The arrests were carried out by officers from the City of Manchester's Central Challenger team and from Xcalibur as part of Operation Tahara - a pain-clothed operation to crackdown on antisocial behaviour in crime hotspots within Manchester and Trafford.Read more of today's top stories here
