Police have fired a warning after shocking footage emerged of two men appearing to be assaulted at a Metrolink stop in Rochdale. Footage shared with the Manchester Evening News yesterday (May 31) appeared to show a man being hurled onto the tracks at Newbold, after another man could be seen on the ground.
