Police closed a quiet residential street in Swinton on Sunday evening after reports of concern for the welfare of a vulnerable man.
Multiple police and ambulances were called to Westminster Road at around 6.30pm, with officers shutting the road and turning cars back, and cordoning off a section of the street near Swinton Cemetery.
