A busy main road was closed off on Wednesday with a police car left in tatters after smashing into a metal barrier. Ashton Road, in Oldham, was cordoned off by the emergency services on Wednesday evening (October 19) after the crash, which is thought to have required people to be rescued from the wreckage.
Ex-soldier whose life 'spiralled out of control' after being kicked by horse arrested by armed police outside Tesco

An ex-soldier whose life 'spiralled out of control' after being kicked by a horse was caught with a knife and fake gun outside Tesco.
Mark Holt, 33, was arrested by armed police after he was spotted walking with a friend who was carrying a crossbow in Oldham. Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court was told a 'gobsmacked' resident called police over the second man pointing the weapon at trees 'as if he were practising shooting' in Bellfield Avenue.
Specialist officers arrested them both outside Tesco Express in Ashton Road shortly after 5.15pm on July 23. Holt, of Ashton Road, Oldham, had a knife in his right hand and an imitation firearm, made to look similar to a Remington self-loading pistol, hidden in his jacket pocket.

Holt told police he was carrying the weapons because he had had some 'trouble' with 'a lad' the same day, and there had been a group of 15 men outside his house 'coming for him'. He said he had taken the fake gun 'for protection' but had no intention of harming anybody.
Holt pleaded guilty to possession of a bladed article and possession of an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear. He also admitted to being under the influence of drugs and alcohol at the time of the offence. Sentencing Holt on October 6 to two years in prison, Judge Saville warned that, although Holt's firearm was imitation and unloaded, 'this type of offending very quickly escalates to murder or manslaughter'.
The court also heard how Holt was released on license from two previous knifepoint robbery offences in Dukinfield, but had been given accommodation in a hostel where he quickly fell into taking illegal drugs.

Jennifer Lawrence: I Felt a Loss of Control After ‘The Hunger Games’ Came Out
Greg Wetherall Guest Contributor Jennifer Lawrence has revealed that she sensed a loss of control in the wake of the huge success of the first “Hunger Games” film in 2012. Talking to Francine Stock about her career as part of the London Film Festival’s “Screen Talk” series, Lawrence opened up about her feelings on working in the hit franchise. “I think I lost a sense of control. Between ‘The Hunger Games’ coming out and winning the Oscar [for 2012’s “Silver Lining Playbook”], I became such a commodity that I felt like every decision was a big, big group decision. When I reflect now, I can’t think of those following years, [because there was] just a loss of control.”
