A man was also taken into custody after the incident to be questioned by detectives. Greater Manchester Police have since confirmed that suspect Abdullahi Tuani, 25, of Abbey Road in Tyldesley, has been charged with attempted murder.

He has been remanded into custody to appear at Wigan Magistrates' Court on Wednesday (October 29).
