Armed police have reportedly fired shots at a car and swooped in to arrest two people.

Undercover officers pulled over the car, on Riverdale Road, Blackley, at around 1.30pm this afternoon.

Witnesses said the officers fired their guns twice, once at the car and at the tyres.

Two men have been arrested on suspicion of assault and drugs offences.

It is thought one of the arrested men was possibly wanted by police.

Greater Manchester Police said there are currently six armed officers at the scene.

A spokeswoman for GMP said no one had been shot but could not confirm whether firearms had been discharged.

The officers are believed to be working on an undercover operation into organised crime.
