A 36-year-old man has been charged after an incident in Oldham where a man appeared to fire a gun.

Stefan Ion, of Washwood Heath Road, Birmingham, has been charged with possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and affray.

Another man and a woman, both in their 30s, have been bailed after being arrested in connection with the incident.

A cordon was in place from the early hours of Tuesday after police were called to Prince Edward Avenue in Clarksfield at around 1am.

A video uploaded to social media appears to show a man firing a gun several times outside a house.

Detective Inspector Clare Harrison, from Greater Manchester Police's Oldham district, said: “We are committed to taking firearms off our streets and you can be confident that if you report any information relating to suspected possession or offences, we will take immediate action as we continue to ensure Oldham is a safe place to live and work.

“We have specialist officers across the force who are proactively tackling firearms enabled criminality, and your local neighbourhood officers will continue to be in the area for community reassurance.

“If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to speak to them.”
