Three men assaulted and sexually attacked a man in Oldham near Wrigley Head in Failsworth. Police have initiated a thorough investigation to apprehend the perpetrators. The incident occurred around 5:55 pm on Friday. According to authorities, the victim was targeted by the assailants, and there is no threat to the general public.
Greater Manchester Police said; "We are now looking to speak to three men in relation to this incident and they are described as black men in their 30s, with black and white scarfs round their necks and of an athletic build. One man was wearing jeans and another wearing trousers with pockets on.
"Officers are also keen on identifying anyone who was in the area around that time - this includes anyone who may have any relevant doorbell, dashcam, or CCTV footage from around the time of the incident."
Detective Inspector Andrew Day from our Oldham District said: “Our specialist officers are supporting the man involved in this incident and we are doing all we can to provide the appropriate care that he needs at this time.
