Swift and Decisive Action in City Centre Arrest

On-duty Police Sergeant PS ALLPRESS acted promptly to detain a male who became threatening and abusive after being refused entry to Selfridges Manchester while intoxicated. The male—already on court bail for a racially aggravated offence—was arrested again following escalating behaviour, including racist and homophobic abuse directed at two officers during detention and transport.

This incident reflects Greater Manchester Police's unwavering stance on: 

✅ Tackling hate crime head-on
✅ Protecting the public and retail staff
✅ Pursuing remand when community safety is at risk

A full case file is now being prepared for CPS consultation, and a remand application is under active consideration.
