Following an appeal for assistance from the public, a 28-year-old man was arrested yesterday (Wednesday), on suspicion of section 20 assault in connection with an attack on a Sikh Priest in Manchester city centre.
Just before 6.30pm on Thursday, June 23, 2022, officers were called by the North West Ambulance Service to a report of a man found unconscious in the road on Tib Street.
CCTV enquiries revealed that the victim had been assaulted by an unknown male close to the junction with Hilton Street.
The offender then fled the scene on foot, turning right onto Oldham Street.
The victim was left unconscious in the middle of the road, before being taken to hospital where he has since remained.
The suspect remains in custody for questioning.
