A disturbance say police broke out near one of the event’s stages around 8pm

The men are believed to have left shortly after via the main entry route to the event, heading onto Liverpool Road and turning left.

Police are now seeking witnesses to the incident as they progress their investigation.

Detective Inspector Kellie Lawson, of GMP’s Salford district, said: “We are currently pursuing multiple lines of enquiry and are building a comprehensive timeline of events. This was a shocking incident at an event in which people were there to enjoy themselves – and we are doing what we can to find those responsible.

“I would ask anyone who saw anything last night to please get in touch with us. I would also ask anyone nearby who may have dashcam, doorbell or CCTV footage, to contact us.
