Pictures of several men have been shared by Greater Manchester in connection with disorder in Newton Heath last week.

As part of their investigation into the disorder that broke out outside a hotel on Oldham Road on July 31, the force is seeking to identify four people.

They say they would like to speak to the men as part of their investigation. 

The disorder began at a far-right protest outside a hotel believed to be housing immigrants in the wake of the attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport in which three young girls were killed.

Multiple police vans were in attendance with videos on social media showing officers in riot gear forming a barricade to push back the crowds.

Greater Manchester Police would like anybody who recognises the men pictured to contact them through the MIPP portal.

The search is part of an operation which was launched after the protest turned into 'large scale disorder'.

Alternative ways to contact GMP with information are through 101 or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, quoting Operation Swanmore.
