A man led Greater Manchester Police officers on a 45-minute pursuit through Salford, reportedly reaching speeds of up to 100mph on residential streets with a 30mph limit, resulting in injuries to an innocent bystander and a police officer. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about the risks posed by high-speed police chases through built-up areas, where members of the public and officers can be caught up in the danger even though they played no part in the offence being pursued.

The chase saw the driver flout speed limits by a wide margin as he attempted to evade officers, before the pursuit ended with a woman uninvolved in the incident and a police officer left injured. Details of the man's arrest, the exact circumstances of the injuries, and any charges he may face have not been fully confirmed in the available report.
