Detective Sergeant Claire Hughes, of GMP’s Wigan borough, said: “We have been carrying out a number of enquiries since launching our investigation but we need the public’s help in our efforts to seek the truth.

“What we do know is that this was a terrifying incident which left staff at the takeaway genuinely fearing for their safety and that is completely unacceptable.

“Nobody should be put in that position when they are at work, trying to provide a service for other people. The person responsible needs to be found and we are keen to speak to anyone who may be able to assist us with our investigation.”
