No arrests have been made, a spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said. A full investigation has been launched into the 'violent incident'.
Last night, a cordon was reportedly put in place on a stretch of Edge Lane near the Metrolink stop as officers carried out investigations. Officers now want to speak to any witnesses, or anyone with dash cam, doorbell or CCTV footage.
Detective Chief Inspector Anna Barker, from GMP's Tameside district, said: "We are currently investigating the full circumstances of last night’s violent incident, and we have multiple officers undertaking all appropriate lines of enquiry.
