A murder investigation has been launched after a man’s “violent and shocking” death. <\/p>\n
Officers were called to reports of an assault at Blues bar on Bow Street, Ashton-under-Lyne at about 2:40 BST, Greater Manchester Police said.<\/p>\n
The force said a man in his early 30s was found with serious injuries and died at the scene.<\/p>\n
A 36-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody for questioning, it said, adding it believes it was an isolated attack.<\/p>\n
Det Supt Ian McNabb said: “This is was a violent and shocking attack that tragically took the life of a young man.”<\/p>\n
He said detectives were working “at pace” to establish the full circumstances surrounding his death.<\/p>\n
McNabb said while no formal identification has taken place yet, the family of the who they believe to be the victim have been told and were being supported by officers.<\/p>\n
“We currently have a man in our custody and a scene is still in place at this time.” <\/p>\n
He said: “We would also like to reassure the community we believe this to be an isolated attack and poses no wider threat to the public.<\/p>\n
“As we are still in the early stages of our investigation, we are appealing for anyone who may have information to please come forward and report.”<\/p>\n
He added: “This can be anyone who may have witnessed the incident itself, or has any footage from the area that may support our enquiries.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A murder investigation has been launched after a man’s “violent and shocking” death.
