Fight in Oldham

It was shortly after 2.50pm when officers were called to reports of a disturbance on Burnley Lane in Chadderton involving a dispute between a group of youths.

A short time later a video emerged on social media believed to be of the incident and showing one boy pulling a meat cleaver out of his tracksuit before he tried to attack one of the boys with it.

A 15-year old boy sustained cuts to his leg which required hospital treatment.

Officers have now said they’ve arrested two 15-year old boys on suspicion of affray, attempted assault and possession of a bladed article.
