Bury: Man arrested on suspicion of murder after teenager dies in incident involving vehicle

A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a teenager died in what police have called a "targeted attack" in Bury.

Greater Manchester Police said in a statement that officers were called to an incident between a vehicle and a pedestrian on Porritt Street.

Officers found a 19-year-old man lying in the road with serious injuries on Monday evening.

"Despite the best efforts of the emergency services, the man sadly died," the force said.

They added his family are being supported by specialist officers.

Police said at 2am on Tuesday that a man in his 30s was arrested on suspicion of murder. He remains in police custody for questioning.

Detective Superintendent Wesley Knights then said: "Firstly, I would like to express my deepest condolences to the family of the deceased during this incredibly difficult time.

"This is a truly tragic incident which has seen a young man lose his life, I would like to reassure the public that this is a targeted attack and there is no wider threat to the community.

"Local officers will remain in the area making enquiries, as well as an increased number of highly visible patrols overnight and into Tuesday."
