Two people have been charged after a teenager was found injured outside a primary school in Radcliffe.

Police say the two have been charged with Section 18 assault and criminal damage following the incident on Bury Street on Saturday.

Police were called to the street at around 5.15pm to reports of an “injured male” and a cordon was set up near Radcliffe Hall Primary School.

Police confirmed that forensics were also at the scene.

The 16-year-old boy was taken to hospital for treatment  with "injuries which are not thought to be life-threatening". 

It is believed the victim had been attempting to escape the two suspects and in doing so injured his arm. 

Neighbours initially thought the victim had been stabbed but that has now been ruled out.

Two "males" whose ages have not been released were arrested at the scene on suspicion of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
