A police spokesman said: “Greater Manchester Police were called to Gathurst Lane in Shevington at around 11am today.

“Officers attended the scene and found a woman who has since been taken to hospital for treatment, with the extent of the injuries unknown at this time.”

The incident came as the usually quiet area was already seeing a lot of activity from the emergency services, after a body was found on Kilburn Drive on Thursday evening.

Local resident Sarah O'Neill said on Facebook: “I do hope the person on the floor near coop will be ok bless them.”

Ken Charnock said: “Saw the police van. Hope they are OK.”
