Overview
- CCTV from Hilton Lane in Little Hulton shows an unmarked police vehicle making contact with Junior Moran, 13, sending him over the bonnet during his ride home from training.
- The boy was briefly detained but not arrested, and a family member later took him to hospital, where his mother says he was treated for concussion and left traumatised.
- Greater Manchester Police said trained officers used tactical contact to stop what they described as an illegal e-bike first sighted by Operation Venture earlier that evening.
- The e-bike was seized under section 165 of the Road Traffic Act due to insurance requirements, according to the force.
- The family lodged a formal complaint, a GMP superintendent visited and apologised, and Professional Standards is reviewing the incident with the driver’s authority withdrawn pending inquiry.
