Since shared by Greater Manchester Police (GMP) at large on social media, officers investigating the case are appealing for anyone who recognises them to come forward.
While the exact extent of the damage done and the condition of the other person involved in the altercation has not been fully disclosed, they are believed to have been left with significant “head and facial injuries”.

Said to be from the Partington area, he has since appeared in Manchester and Salford Magistrates’ Court and been charged on multiple counts.
As for the two unknown men seen above, GMP are urging anyone with information, no matter how small, to contact the police immediately.
