A dispersal order remains in place
Police in Salford have arrested four people and charged a 16-year-old girl with assaulting an emergency worker, following a series of disorder incidents in the city on Tuesday 11th June 2025.
At around 1.30pm, officers responded to reports of a large group – estimated between 50 and 60 people – gathering on Lower Broughton Road. Witnesses say the group used cars and wheelie bins to block the road, leading to police intervention.
In response to the incidents and further investigations throughout the afternoon, officers detained four males in connection with separate criminal offences.
A 16-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of theft and public order offences. A man in his 30s was taken into custody on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly and possession of Class A drugs.
Two men, aged 18 and 19, were also arrested on suspicion of possession of a bladed article.
