Police officers were attacked as they tried to eject people from a house party in Manchester. Up to 200 people who had gathered at a rented “holiday property” in Levenshulme were said to have terrified neighbours who reported drunken behaviour and excess noise.
A number of the partygoers became violent when officers arrived at the address in Delamere Road shortly before 10.30pm on Friday.
Items were thrown at officers before the property and area were cleared, said Greater Manchester police. No arrests were made but police are keen to hear from anyone who attended the party.
DC Chris Henderson said: “Not only had the partygoers duped the homeowner into believing there would be far fewer people at the property, the party got out of hand.
“They terrified local residents in their own homes, then reacted with violence towards police officers when they attempted to clear the party. This behaviour is simply unacceptable.
“We are currently investigating crimes of violent disorder and will be reviewing CCTV to identify those involved.
“We would like to hear from anyone who has any information that can help police as we attempt to bring those responsible to justice.”
Anyone with any information can contact police on 0161 856 6085 or call 101 of Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
