A gang of men armed with weapons smashed the window of a home in Tyldesley before launching an attack on their victim.
The group launched their attack on Barton Street at around 5.55am yesterday morning (Sunday, May 19). They showed up with weapons and smashed the window of a house.
They then 'confronted' a man - a man aged in his 20s - and 'seriously assaulted' him. The victim had to go to hospital for treatment.
